Right Answer is: C

SOLUTION

Concept:

Purpose of Bode plot

  • To draw the frequency response of the system
  • To find the closed-loop system stability.

Initial magnitude is 20logK always.

Gain margin and Phase margin both are calculated to find the closed-loop stability.

Calculation:

From the figure given starting magnitude is 20 dB and slope = 0.

Slope = 0 states that there is no pole or zero at the origin.

20logK = 20

logK = 1

K = 101 = 10

At ω = 1 rad/s slope is -20 dB it implies that there is a pole at that frequency.

So the transfer function will be:

\(G\left( s \right)H\left( s \right) = \frac{k}{{s + 1}}\)

Substituting the k value we get the final transfer function as:

\(G\left( s \right)H\left( s \right) = \frac{{10}}{{s + 1}}\)

Important points

NOTE: This is valid for Minimum phase system only.

Minimum phase system: All poles and zeroes are present at the left side of s-plane.
