Dead Zone

Discontinuous

Implements a dead zone (dead band) nonlinearity. The output is zero when the input is within the specified band. Outside the band, the output is the input shifted by the band limit, maintaining continuity.

Mathematical Model

\begin{cases} u(t) - \text{upper}, & u(t) > \text{upper} \\ 0, & \text{lower} \le u(t) \le \text{upper} \\ u(t) - \text{lower}, & u(t) < \text{lower} \end{cases}

Remarks & Best Practices

Models mechanical backlash, sensor insensitivity, and friction zones.
Output is continuous (no jumps at the boundaries).
