Bode Plot Example 3 - Erik Cheever

The document provides steps to draw a Bode diagram for a transfer function. It first rewrites the transfer function in proper form, separates it into its constituent parts of a constant, two poles and a zero. It then draws the Bode diagram for each part and combines them to obtain the overall Bode diagram.

Bode Plot: Example 3

Draw the Bode Diagram for the transfer function:

STEP 1: REWRITE THE TRANSFER FUNCTION IN PROPER FORM.


Make both the lowest order term in the numerator and denominator unity. The numerator is an order 1 polynomial, the denominator is order 2.

STEP 2: SEPARATE THE TRANSFER FUNCTION INTO ITS CONSTITUENT PARTS.


The transfer function has 4 components: A constant of 33.3 A pole at s=-3 A pole at s=0 A zero at s=-10

STEP 3: DRAW THE BODE DIAGRAM FOR EACH PART.


This is done in the diagram below. The constant is the cyan line (A quantity of 33.3 is equal to 30 dB). The phase is constant at 0 degrees. The pole at 3 rad/sec is the green line. It is 0 dB up to the break frequency, then drops off with a slope of -20 dB/dec. The phase is 0 degrees up to 1/10 the break frequency (0.3 rad/sec) then drops linearly down to -90 degrees at 10 times the break frequency (30 rad/sec). The pole at the origin. It is a straight line with a slope of -20 dB/dec. It goes through 0 dB at 1 rad/sec. The phase is -90 degrees.

The zero at 10 rad/sec is the red line. It is 0 dB up to the break frequency, then rises at 20 dB/dec. The phase is 0 degrees up to 1/10 the break frequency (1 rad/sec) then rises linearly to 90 degrees at 10 times the break frequency (100 rad/sec).

STEP 4: DRAW THE OVERALL BODE DIAGRAM BY ADDING UP THE RESULTS FROM STEP 3.
The overall asymptotic plot is the translucent pink line, the exact response is the black line.
