Bode Plot

To draw a Bode diagram for a transfer function there are three main steps: 1) Rewrite the transfer function in proper form, 2) Separate it into its constituent parts, and 3) Draw the Bode diagram for each part and then combine the results to draw the overall Bode diagram.

To draw a Bode diagram for a transfer function there are three steps:

1. Rewrite the transfer function in proper form. 2. Separate the transfer function into its constituent parts. 3. Draw the Bode diagram for each part. 4. Draw the overall Bode diagram by adding up the results from part 3.

1. Rewrite the transfer function in proper form. A transfer function is normally of the form:

Example:

we would like to rewrite this so the lowest order term in the numerator and denominator are both unity.

2. Separate the transfer function into its constituent parts. The next step is to split up the function into its constituent parts. There are seven types of parts:

1. A constant 2. Poles at the origin 3. Zeros at the origin 4. Real Poles 5. Real Zeros 6. Complex conjugate poles 7. Complex conjugate zeros

This function has a constant of 2, a zero at s=-10, and poles at s=-3 and s=-50.

3. Draw the Bode diagram for each part

Notes: * Rules for drawing zeros create the mirror image (around 0 dB) of those for a pole with the same break freq For underdamped poles and zeros peak exists for 0 ^ 0.707 ! 1 and peak freq. is typically very near the break freq
2

For underdamped poles and zeros If ^<0.02 draw phase vertically from 0 to -180 degrees at break freq
For nth order pole or zero make asymptotes and peaks n times higher than shown (i.e., second order asymptote is -40 dB/dec, and phase goes from 0 to 180o). Dont change frequencies, only plot values and slopes.

4. Draw the overall Bode diagram by adding up the results from part 3.

After the individual terms are drawn, it is a simple matter to add them together.
