Syntax

bodemag(sys1,LineSpec1,...,sysN,LineSpecN)
bodemag(___,w)
Description
bodemag
enables you to generate magnitude-only plots to visualize the magnitude frequency response of a dynamic system.
For a more comprehensive function, see bode. bode
provides magnitude and phase information. If you have System Identification™ toolbox, bode
also returns the computed values, including statistical estimates.
For more customizable plotting options, see bodeplot.
example
bodemag(sys)
creates a Bode magnitude plot of the frequency response of the dynamic system model sys
. The plot displays the magnitude (in dB) of the system response as a function of frequency. bodemag
automatically determines frequencies to plot based on system dynamics.
If sys
is a multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) model, then bodemag
produces an array of Bode magnitude plots in which each plot shows the frequency response of one I/O pair.
example
bodemag(sys1,sys2,...,sysN)
plots the frequency response of multiple dynamic systems on the same plot. All systems must have the same number of inputs and outputs.
example
bodemag(sys1,LineSpec1,...,sysN,LineSpecN)
specifies a color, line style, and marker for each system in the plot.
example
bodemag(___,w)
plots system responses for frequencies specified by w
.
If
w
is a cell array of the form{wmin,wmax}
, thenbodemag
plots the response at frequencies ranging betweenwmin
andwmax
.If
w
is a vector of frequencies, thenbodemag
plots the response at each specified frequency.
You can use this syntax with any of the input-argument combinations in previous syntaxes.

Bode Magnitude Plot of Dynamic System
This example uses:
- Control System ToolboxControl System Toolbox
Open Live Script
Create a Bode magnitude plot of the following continuous-time SISO dynamic system.
H = tf([1 0.1 7.5],[1 0.12 9 0 0]);bodemag(H)
bodemag
automatically selects the plot range based on the system dynamics.
Bode Magnitude Plot at Specified Frequencies
This example uses:
- Control System ToolboxControl System Toolbox
Open Live Script
Create a Bode magnitude plot over a specified frequency range. Use this approach when you want to focus on the dynamics in a particular range of frequencies.
H = tf([-0.1,-2.4,-181,-1950],[1,3.3,990,2600]);bodemag(H,{1,100})grid on
The cell array {1,100}
specifies the minimum and maximum frequency values in the Bode magnitude plot. When you provide frequency bounds in this way, the function selects intermediate points for frequency response data.
Alternatively, specify a vector of frequency points to use for evaluating and plotting the frequency response.
w = [1 5 10 15 20 23 31 40 44 50 85 100];bodemag(H,w,'.-')grid on
bodemag
plots the frequency response at the specified frequencies only.
Compare Bode Magnitude Plots of Several Dynamic Systems
This example uses:
- Control System ToolboxControl System Toolbox
Open Live Script
Compare the magnitude of the frequency response of a continuous-time system to an equivalent discretized system on the same Bode plot.
Create continuous-time and discrete-time dynamic systems.
H = tf([1 0.1 7.5],[1 0.12 9 0 0]);Hd = c2d(H,0.5,'zoh');
Create a Bode magnitude plot that displays the responses of both systems.
bodemag(H,Hd)
The Bode magnitude plot of a discrete-time system includes a vertical line marking the Nyquist frequency of the system.
Bode Magnitude Plot with Specified Line and Marker Attributes
This example uses:
- Control System ToolboxControl System Toolbox
Open Live Script
Specify the color, linestyle, or marker for each system in a Bode magnitude plot using the LineSpec
input arguments.
H = tf([1 0.1 7.5],[1 0.12 9 0 0]);Hd = c2d(H,0.5,'zoh');bodemag(H,'r',Hd,'b--')
The first LineSpec
argument 'r'
specifies a solid red line for the response of H
. The second LineSpec
argument 'b--'
specifies a dashed blue line for the response of Hd
.
Magnitude of MIMO System
This example uses:
- Control System ToolboxControl System Toolbox
Open Live Script
For this example, create a 2-output, 3-input system.
rng(0,'twister'); % For reproducibilityH = rss(4,2,3);
For this system, bodemag
plots the magnitude-only frequency responses of each I/O channel in a separate plot in a single figure.

Input Arguments

sys
— Dynamic system
dynamic system model | model array
Dynamic system, specified as a SISO or MIMO dynamic system model or array of dynamic system models. Dynamic systems that you can use include:
Continuous-time or discrete-time numeric LTI models, such as tf (Control System Toolbox), zpk (Control System Toolbox), or ss (Control System Toolbox) models.
Generalized or uncertain LTI models such as genss (Control System Toolbox) or uss (Robust Control Toolbox) models. (Using uncertain models requires Robust Control Toolbox™ software.)
For tunable control design blocks, the function evaluates the model at its current value for both plotting and returning frequency response data.
For uncertain control design blocks, the function plots the nominal value and random samples of the model. When you use output arguments, the function returns frequency response data for the nominal model only.
Frequency-response data models such as
frd
models. For such models, the function plots the response at frequencies defined in the model.Identified LTI models, such as idtf, idss, or idproc models.
If sys
is an array of models, the function plots the frequency responses of all models in the array on the same axes.
w
— Frequencies
{wmin,wmax}
| vector
Frequencies at which to compute and plot frequency response, specified as the cell array {wmin,wmax}
or as a vector of frequency values.
If
w
is a cell array of the form{wmin,wmax}
, then the function computes the index at frequencies ranging betweenwmin
andwmax
.If
w
is a vector of frequencies, then the function computes the index at each specified frequency. For example, use logspace to generate a row vector with logarithmically spaced frequency values.
Specify frequencies in units of rad/TimeUnit
, where TimeUnit
is the TimeUnit
property of the model.
Algorithms
bodemag
computes the frequency response as follows:
Compute the zero-pole-gain (zpk (Control System Toolbox)) representation of the dynamic system.
Evaluate the gain and phase of the frequency response based on the zero, pole, and gain data for each input/output channel of the system.
For continuous-time systems,
bodemag
evaluates the frequency response on the imaginary axis s = jω and considers only positive frequencies.For discrete-time systems,
bodemag
evaluates the frequency response on the unit circle. To facilitate interpretation, the command parameterizes the upper half of the unit circle as:where Ts is the sample time and ωN is the Nyquist frequency. The equivalent continuous-time frequency ω is then used as the x-axis variable. Because is periodic with period 2ωN,
bodemag
plots the response only up to the Nyquist frequency ωN. If sys is a discrete-time model with unspecified sample time,bodemag
uses Ts = 1.
