Bode Plots Demystified – a beginners guide to Bode Plots

In RF engineering, Bode plots are used to analyze the frequency response of RF circuits and systems. They can be used to design and optimize the performance of RF amplifiers, filters, and other RF components such as software defined radios.

A Bode plot is typically made up of two plots: a magnitude plot and a phase plot. The magnitude plot shows the gain of the system at different frequencies, while the phase plot shows the phase shift of the system at different frequencies.
