0.1× Pole, 0.1 × | ( p, n) Zero|, 10 × Pole, and 10 × | ( p, n) Zero| for each Pole and Zero Start with the following angle at very low frequencies φ (0) = +90 × power of s term + 0 degrees if the constant is > 0 φ (0) = +90 × power of s term + 180 degrees if the constant is < 0 starting slope is 0 degrees/decade encounter 0.1× Pole, 0.1 × | Negative Zero|, or 10 × Positive Zero: slope after = slope before − 45 degrees/decade encounter 0.1× Positive Zero, 10 × Pole, or 10 × | Negative Zero|: slope after = slope before + 45 degrees/decade 25
