characteristic for this factor has a slope of 20ndB/decade and passes throughKdB at
ω=1, while the component angle characteristic has a constant value ofn×90°.Case 2: Some Zeros or Poles Occur as Complex Conjugate Pairs

With a break frequency of√
α^2 +β^2 , the magnitude is characterized by a slope of 40
dB/decade forω≥√
α^2 +β^2 , and the angle characteristic shows a slope of 90°/decade in
the range of 0.1√
α^2 +β^2 ≤ω≤ 10√
α^2 +β^2. The asymptotic Bode plot for this case is
shown in Figure 3.4.8.Note that the angle and magnitude characteristics will have the opposite sign for the case of
a complex conjugate pair of poles. It should also be pointed out that the straight-line quadratic
representations are not generally good approximations (particularly in the one-decade region on
either side of the break frequency), and a few points may be calculated to obtain the correct curves
in the questionable frequency range.
