What are Bode Plots?
A graph is called as Bode plot which is frequently used in control system engineering to assess a control system’s stability. Two graphs, the Bode phase plot (which expresses the phase shift in degrees) and the Bode magnitude plot (which expresses the magnitude in decibels), are used to map the frequency response of the system.
Hendrik Wade Bode first introduced Bode plots in the 1930s while he was employed by Bell Laboratories in the United States. Bode plots, unlike the Nyquist stability criterion, can handle transfer functions with right half plane singularities, despite being a reasonably straightforward approach for calculating system stability.
Bode Plots in Control System
Bode plots describe the linear time-invariant systems’ frequency response (change in magnitude and phase as a function of frequency). It helps in analyzing the stability of control system. It applies to the minimum phase transfer function i.e. (poles and zeros should be in the left half of the s-plane).
