Bode Plot

The Bode plot graphically determines control system stability based on frequency response. It consists of magnitude and phase plots with angular frequency on the x-axis and magnitude or phase on y-axes. Rules for construction include representing the open loop transfer function, substituting s=jω, finding corner frequencies, and drawing plots from 1/10 minimum corner frequency to 10 times maximum.

BODE PLOT

The Bode plot gives a graphical method for determining the stability of a control
system based on a sinusoidal frequency response.

The Bode plot or the Bode diagram consists of two plots −

• Magnitude plot

• Phase plot

In both the plots, x-axis represents angular frequency (logarithmic scale).

Whereas, y-axis represents the magnitude (linear scale) of open loop transfer
function in the magnitude plot and the phase angle (linear scale) of the open loop
transfer function in the phase plot.

Rules for Construction of Bode Plots

• Represent the open loop transfer function in the standard time constant form.

• Substitute, 𝑠 = 𝑗𝜔 in the equation.

• Find the corner frequencies and arrange them in ascending order.

• Consider the starting frequency of the Bode plot as 1/10th of the minimum
corner frequency or 0.1 rad/sec whichever is smaller value and draw the
Bode plot up to 10 times maximum corner frequency.

• Draw the magnitude plots for each term and combine these plots properly.

• Draw the phase plots for each term and combine these plots properly.

Corner frequency:

The corner frequency is the frequency at which there is a change in the slope of the
magnitude plot.
