10: Decibels and Bode Plots
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
Learning Objectives
After completing this chapter, you should be able to:
- Convert between ordinary and decibel based power and voltage gains.
- Utilize decibel-based voltage and power measurements during circuit analysis.
- Define and graph a general Bode plot.
- Detail the differences between lead and lag networks, and graph Bode plots for each.
- Combine the effects of several lead and lag networks together in order to determine a system Bode plot.
