Rules For Making Bode Plots - One Page Summary

1) The document provides rules for constructing Bode plots based on different system components including poles and zeros. 2) Key features include asymptotic lines, peaks and dips, with magnitudes expressed in dB and phases expressed in degrees. 3) Underdamped poles and zeros have characteristic peaks or dips in their magnitude plots and straight line phases between asymptotic values.

Notes:
* Rules for drawing zeros create the mirror image (around 0 dB, or 0 ) of those for a pole with the same 0.
† For underdamped poles and zeros peak exists only for 0
1 and peak freq. is typically very near
0.707 0.
2
‡ For underdamped poles and zeros If <0.02 draw phase vertically from 0 to -180 degrees at 0
For nth order pole or zero make asymptotes, peaks and slopes n times higher than shown (i.e., second order asymptote
is -40 dB/dec, and phase goes from 0 to –180o). Don’t change frequencies, only the plot values and slopes.
