This article describes how Bode plots can be used as a tool to quickly assess if your power supply design will meet the requirements for dynamic control behaviour. Power supplies normally maintain a ...

In 1938 Hendrik Wade Bode, who worked at Bell Labs, published his asymptotic assessment of phase margin and gain margin, bearing his name [2]. The Bode plot is recognized for its simplicity and the ...

Many articles and application notes describe the extraction of phase margin, using a non-invasive technique that extracts the phase margin from an output impedance measurement. The term non-invasive ...

An editor of a technical magazine once told me that subject matter recirculates every eight months as a method of informing an ever-changing audience. It’s been a while since I addressed Bode plots as ...

A Bode plot can simplify characterization of an active or a passive network by showing frequency and phase representations of the network's transfer function, T. In its classic form, a Bode plot ...

[Rolinychupetin] insists that his recent video is not a lecture but actually a “recitation” about Bode plots. That may be, but it is still worth a watch if you want to learn more about the topic. You ...

Noise is a fact of life, especially in electronic circuits. But on our paper schematics and just as often our simulations, there is no noise. If you are blinking an LED on a breadboard, you probably ...

Designed for use in a second course in circuit analysis, this text engages a full spectrum of circuit analysis related subjects ranging from the most abstract to the most practical.

I am getting rather pissed off at Excel. I keep trying to make a Bode plot with the X-axis being 5 Cycle semi-log (just a log10 axis would be alright too) and the Y-axis linear. I cannot find an ...

When getting from point A to point B is all you’re worried about, simple step inputs usually suffice. But when your machine’s movement between points needs smooth elegance, then a complex, controlled ...

This chapter discusses frequency response in terms of both amplitude and phase. This topic will enable us to determine which frequencies are dominant and which frequencies are virtually suppressed.
