Bode Plots
Plot of db Gain and phase vs frequency
It is assumed you know how to construct
Bode Plots
MATLAB program bode.m available for
fast Bode plotting
useful for determining Gain and Phase
margins

The HP 35670A Dynamic
Signal Analyzer obtains
frequency response

displayed data can be
used to analyze, design,
or determine
a mathematical model
for the system.

Gain Margin
Factorby which gain has to be increased to
encircle (-1,0) point in polar plot
Define phase crossover frequency ω1 such that
arg{G ( jω1 )} = −180°
G(s) = open loop t.f.

Gain margin =
G ( jω1 )
In db Gain Margin = −20 log10 [ G ( jω1 ) ]

Phase Margin
Theamount of lag which when applied to the open
loop t.f.will cause the polar plot encircle (-1,0)
point
Example
open loop t.f.

Example
In this instance gain margin is +8db and
the phase margin is +210
Therefore system is stable
Now try gain K=100

Example
Negative gain and phase margins mean
system is unstable for gain K=100
actual values are
– gain margin = -12dB
– phase margin = -30o

Margins
Measure of nearness of polar plot to (-1,0)
point
Neither ON THEIR OWN give sufficient
description of system stability
– both must be used together
Notes on Gain and Phase 28
Margins
For
minimum phase systems both margins
should be positive
– non-minimum phase occurs when poles of
OLTF exist in RHP
– see Ogata pp. 486-487
Notes on Gain and Phase 29
Margins
Satisfactory values of gain and phase
margin
– phase margin should be in the range 30o-60o
– gain margin should be >6dB
these values lead to satisfactory damping
ratios in the closed loop system
Bode plot sketches should be enough to
give you an idea of potential problems
