Bode Plot – The plots of magnitude versus w in log-log rectangular
coordinate and phase versus w in semi-log rectangular
coordinates, especially through corner plot or asymptotic plot.

For any stable minimum-phase system, the phase of is uniquely
related to the magnitude of
The slope of the versus on a log-log scale is weighted most
heavily for the phase shift of a desired frequency.
(2) The log-log scale versus in one portion of the frequency
spectrum and the phase in the remainder of the spectrum
may be chosen independently.

Features of Bode’s Plot
can be constructed by the addition and subtraction of fundamental
building blocks in magnitude and phase, respectively.
Five fundamental building blocks:
(1) Constant gain
(2) Poles (zeros) at the origin
(3) Poles (zeros) on the real axis
(4) Complex poles (zeros)
(5) Pure time delay (lead)
2. Same types of poles and zeros are mutual mirror images w.r.t. real axis.
