Q1) What do you mean by the term bode Plot? Describe it briefly.

Ans. Bode plots are semilog plots of the magnitude (in decibels) and phase (in degrees) of a transfer
function versus frequency.

Bode plots are usually termed as the industrial representation of the signal in frequency-Domain

Q2) Draw the bode plot of all the transfer function found in Lab # 05. Show all calculations and plots.
Attach bode plots using MATLAB for the respective transfer functions and label the type of response.

Q3) Design a low pass filter with cut off frequency equals to your Roll#. Write its transfer function
and attach its bode plot using MATLAB.

Low Pass Filter:

A low pass filter is a filter circuit designed to pass only
frequencies from dc up to the cut off frequency

A typical lowpass lter is formed when the output of an RC circuit is taken off the capacitor. A lowpass
lter can also be formed when the output of an RL circuit is taken off the resistor. There are the other
methods as well
