 +Bode plots (named after [[wp>Hendrik_Wade_Bode|Hendrik Wade Bode]]) are theoretical straight-line approximations of gain and phase response versus frequency of a system’s output relative to the input (frequency response). The plot is based on poles and zeros of the circuit’s transfer function. Testing of actual circuits, shows that the actual gain and phase traces are not be perfect straight lines, especially near the theoretical pole and zero frequencies.

 +Frequency response analysis is a critical step in the design of passive and active filters, amplifiers, and the closed-loop response of negative feedback systems. Frequency response analysis has historically been a very tedious measurement exercise using just an oscilloscope along with a sinewave function generator as the input source. It involved multiple manually-performed amplitude and phase (time difference) measurements to determine gain (A = 20LogV<sub>OUT</sub>/V<sub>IN</sub>) and phase at multiple frequencies. The ALICE desktop software can perform automatic frequency response measurements (sweeps) using the M1k's built-in waveform generator as a sinewave input source.

It is sub divided into 2 sections.
