BODE PLOT FOR FIRST AND SECOND ORDER SYSTEMS
| INTRODUCTION |
|
The Bode Plot is a graphical method to draw the frequency response of the transfer functions o Linear Time Invariant Continuous Time Systems as a function of the varying frequency. The Bode Plot has two graphics: (1) Magnitude x Frequency Diagram; and (2) Phase x Frequency Diagram.
|
|
This method is used in the analysis of linear circuits, control systems and filters. It yields important information about the characteristics of systems.

The simulations of the Bode Plot are performed online and in real time using Scilab (https://www.scilab.org/). Scilab is connected to the Maxwell System so that it executes its functions using this system as its front end to the Internet.
