Summary
Description |
English: The Bode plot of a Butterworth filter with logarithmic axes and various labels. Cutoff frequency is normalized to 1 rad/s. Gain is normalized to 0 dB in the passband. 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
