Hi,
I know that a simple delay component in a feedback accumulator can be an integrator, which is often used in PLL loop design. Today, I find a loop design in a Simulink example which used a digital filter:

Numerator coefficients: 0.02
Denominator coefficients: 1 -1

as an integrator.

Besides the integrator, it also has a proportional and derivative parts. Please see the picture:



The num(z) is 0.05 in the smoothing filter. I don't know whether the integrator design is related to derivative or not.


From the frequency response curve, it does look like an integrator. I would like to know what benefits can get from this specific digital filter design.

Thanks,

It seems that the pole at (1, 0) increases the gain at low frequency. This kind of design is normal in PI or PID loop?

Thanks,

That's the z-domain representation of an an ideal integrator. The s-domain pole at the origin corresponds to Z-domain pole at (1,0). It's not at all different from the other integrator implemetations you mention.
