How Do I Plot a Bode Plot for a Given Transfer Function?

AI Thread Summary
To plot the Bode plot for the transfer function 100/(s^2 + 10s + 100), first factor the denominator to identify the poles, which are critical for the plot. The transfer function has no zeros, indicating it behaves as a low-pass filter (LPF). The damping ratio (ksi) is calculated as 1/2, with a corresponding natural frequency (w) of 10. It's important to post homework-related questions in the designated Homework Help forum for better assistance. Understanding the poles and zeros is essential for accurately plotting the Bode plot.

hi,

how can i plot the bode plot for this transfer function:


100
----------------
s^2 + 10s + 100

i have
2*ksi*w=10
w=sqrt(100)=10
thus, ksi=1/2
-ksi*w=-10/2=-5


so the overshoot will be at ksi which is at 1/2 and my magnitude is 1.

i don't see how i can find my poles and zeros. can anyone help me?

thanks

Just factor the denominator to get your poles. There are no zeros in your transfer function, because s does not occur in the numerator. When you have no zeros, is the transfer function LPF, BPF or HPF?
 
BTW, homework and coursework questions should be posted in the appropriate Homework Help forum area of the PF. I'll let this stay here for the moment, but please take care to post your homework and coursework questions in the HH forums in the future.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
