Homework Statement



Find analytical expressions for the magnitude and phase of the frequency response for each G(s) below:

(a) [tex]G(s)\,=\,\frac{20}{s\,\left(s\,+\,5\right)\left(s\,+\,5\right)}[/tex](b) [tex]G(s)\,=\,\frac{2\,\left(s\,+\,5\right)}{\left(s\,+\,1\right)\,\left(s\,+\,10\right)}[/tex](c) [tex]G(s)\,=\,\frac{100}{s\left(s^2\,+\,10\,s\,+\,100\right)}[/tex]

Homework Equations



[tex]M\left(\omega\right)\,=\,\vert\,G\left(j\omega\right)\vert[/tex]

Also need to find the angle expression.

Complex number operations are quite intensive, this is probably why I can't figure it out!

The Attempt at a Solution



Prof. told us to first replace all s with jw.

(a) [tex]G(j\omega)\,=\,\frac{20}{\left(j\omega\right)\,\left[\left(j\omega\right)\,+\,1\right]\,\left[\left(j\omega\right)\,+\,5\right]}[/tex]

Then I do some complex number manipulation to slightly simplify the expression.

[tex]G(j\omega)\,=\,\frac{20}{\left(-j\omega^3\,-\,6\omega^2\,+\,5j\omega\right)}[/tex]

Does that look right? I've tried to get the magnitude expression multiple times, but it just doesn't seem right! I did the Bode plot for this transfer function in MATlab and it reports that at w=1 the magnitude should be 8.83dB. NONE of my magnitude expressions produce that data point. What am I doing wrong?EDIT:

I figured out the magnitude part. But I still don't understand how to get the phase part.

[tex]M(\omega)\,=\,\frac{20}{\sqrt{\left(5\omega\,-\,\omega^3\right)^2\,+\,\left(6\omega^2\right)^2}}[/tex]

And then to get the dB magnitude...

[tex]20\,log\left(M(\omega)\right)[/tex]

But now how do I get the phase?

Your alegra looks good to me.
G(ω) is just a complex number for any given value of ω. So you can find the phase angle with the atan function. I suggest you review the polar form of complex numbers if this is still confusing.
