Get transfer function from bode plot

SUMMARY

The transfer function derived from the provided Bode plot is confirmed to be 3s, indicating a differentiator type system. The Bode plot consists of two components: the magnitude plot (dB vs. frequency) and the phase plot (angle vs. frequency). For a differentiator with a frequency of 3 rad/s, the magnitude exhibits a slope of 20 dB/decade and a phase angle of 90 degrees. The characteristics of the Bode plot align with these parameters, confirming the transfer function's validity.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Bode plots and their components
  • Knowledge of transfer functions in control systems
  • Familiarity with the concept of differentiators in signal processing
  • Basic skills in interpreting frequency response graphs
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the characteristics of differentiators in control theory
  • Learn how to construct Bode plots for various transfer functions
  • Explore the implications of phase and magnitude in system stability
  • Investigate the relationship between transfer functions and frequency response
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in electrical engineering, control systems engineers, and anyone interested in analyzing and interpreting Bode plots for system design and analysis.

Homework Statement


What is the transfer function described by this bode plot:

*The answer is 3s, but I don't know where it comes from.

Homework Equations


None

The Attempt at a Solution


Correct me if I am wrong. A bode plot is a combination of 2 plots, one is dB vs. w, the other one is angle vs. w. Each linear transfer function can be breakdown into 7 types of component to be represented on a bode plot. The answer to this problem is "3s", suggesting that it is the differentiator type. For differentiator with w=3, its bode plot has a slop of 20dB/dcd and intercept at w=3 (dB vs. w graph), and an angle of constant 90 degree (angle vs. w graph). I don't see any of the characteristics on the given diagram. I can see that the two plot has been combined into one, but how exact do I interpret such diagram and be able to come up with 3s as the transfer function? Thank you so much!
