Real poles – 1st-order terms
Complex-conjugate poles – 2nd-order terms
These terms and, therefore, the poles determine the nature of the timedomain response

Interpreting Bode Plots

Bode plots tell you the gain and phase shift at all frequencies:
choose a frequency, read gain and phase values from the plot
For a 10KHz
sinusoidal
input, the
gain is 0dB (1)
and the phase
shift is 0°.

For a 10MHz

w: optional frequency vector – in rad/sec
mag: system gain response vector
phase: system phase response vector – in degrees
