How do I attach a PDF (Bode plot) to this message so I can ask
questions. I am using Google groups and they do not have
alt.binares.electronic.design. I know I am asking to be totally
harassed and Joerg will tell me how much smarter he is but I would
like some help.
Cheers, Harry

Park it in one of those free photo hosting sites, photobucket,
imageshack, like that.

Joerg can provide the sound effects.

Maybe try a Google Docs thing.

Ok JL, let's give this a try. Attached Bode Plot PDF.
http://www.keepandshare.com/doc/1913125/bode-plot-gp-30k?da=y
(Google groups not like links)
This is an open loop SPICE plot of a multi stage system. The gain
crosses 0 at 26.3MHz with the phase at -675 degrees and the phase =
-720d at 45.2MHz with the gain at -3.2dBv. Looking at the gain
crossing zero at a low slope makes the system appear stable but the
phase crossing is at -675d, not near -360d. But how does the system
know how many spins the phase vector has rotated greater than 360d? Is
the system not just comparing the feedback phase to the reference
phase on an instantaneous basis? If true, I can then subtract N*360
(N= integer) from -675 and get -315d which gives, 360 - 315 = 45d
phase margin. This collaborates the low slope of the gain crossing
zero and the (Low) 3.2dBv gain margin.

It says EMI active filter as the title, so you are showing the
response of a filter, right? Unless you are going to close a loop
around this filter, why do you think it is necessary to do Bode
analysis (gain/phase margin)?
