For the development of dynamic systems in electrical engineering, control engineering, and even mechatronics, the steady-state response at the output of the system to harmonic excitation (sinusoidal ...

Many articles and application notes describe the extraction of phase margin, using a non-invasive technique that extracts the phase margin from an output impedance measurement. The term non-invasive ...

(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) AC parameters which describe the amplifier's performance over frequency can appear very ...

This article will describe how Bode plots can be leveraged as a tool to quickly assess if your power-supply design will meet the requirements for dynamic control behavior. Power supplies normally ...

I am getting rather pissed off at Excel. I keep trying to make a Bode plot with the X-axis being 5 Cycle semi-log (just a log10 axis would be alright too) and the Y-axis linear. I cannot find an ...

It is not too often that a tool fails me. Most of the time I have made some mistake, so when a Bode Plot failed to predict an unstable system, I came down with a bad case of myopia. I spent so much ...
