The Bode phase plot is the graph of the phase, commonly expressed in degrees, of the argument function ((=)) as a function of . The phase is plotted on the same logarithmic ω {\displaystyle \omega } -axis as the magnitude plot, but the value for the phase is plotted on a linear vertical axis.

Phase is in degrees because that's typical. The code is kind of kludgy, but makes a good output. Generated in gnuplot with the script below (save as butterworth_bode_plot.plt and then open in gnuplot). Then it was postprocessed with Inkscape. See Wikipedia graph-making tips. Many orders on one plot: Image:Butterworth orders.png
Phase margin and gain margin are two measures of stability for a feedback control system. They indicate how much the gain or the phase of the system can vary before it becomes unstable. Phase margin is the difference (expressed as a positive number) between 180° and the phase shift where the magnitude of the loop transfer function is 0 dB.
The knee of a curve can be defined as a vertex of the graph. This corresponds with the graphical intuition (it is where the curvature has a maximum), but depends on the choice of scale. The term "knee" as applied to curves dates at least to the 1910s, [1] and is found more commonly by the 1940s, [2] being common enough to draw criticism.
A phase diagram in physical chemistry, engineering, mineralogy, and materials science is a type of chart used to show conditions (pressure, temperature, etc.) at which thermodynamically distinct phases (such as solid, liquid or gaseous states) occur and coexist at equilibrium.
A Nichols plot. The Nichols plot is a plot used in signal processing and control design, named after American engineer Nathaniel B. Nichols. [1] [2] [3] It plots the phase response versus the response magnitude of a transfer function for any given frequency, and as such is useful in characterizing a system's frequency response.
Bode's ideal control loop frequency response has the fractional integrator shape and provides the iso-damping property around the gain crossover frequency. This is due to the fact that the phase margin and the maximum overshoot are defined by one parameter only (the fractional power of s {\displaystyle s} ), and are independent of open-loop gain.
