It appears you've uploaded an image containing a mathematical problem and some MATLAB code. Here is a summary of the problem:

1. Problem Description:

   • You have a system with a transfer function $H(s)$ in the Laplace domain: $H(s) = \frac{s - s_1}{(s - s_2)(s - s_2^*)}$ where $s_1 = -20\pi$ and $s_2 = 2000 \pi e^{j 2 \pi /3}$.

2. Tasks:

   • Part A: Sketch the Bode plot for the magnitude (straight-line approximation).
   • Part B: Sketch the Bode plot for the phase (straight-line approximation).

3. Expected Output:

   • A MATLAB function that outputs $M$ (magnitude in dB) and $P$ (phase in degrees) as a function of input frequency $f$ (in Hz).
   • The function is expected to produce piecewise linear approximations based on frequency ranges.

4. Notes:

   • The Bode plots are piecewise linear, so conditions (e.g., "if" statements) are used for each frequency range.
   • MATLAB's log10 function should be used for calculations involving logarithms.

Explanation of Provided Code:

Your code snippet appears to implement part of the phase calculation based on specified frequency ranges. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Break Frequencies:

   • f1 and f2 are chosen as 10 and 1000 Hz, respectively, to represent transition points.

2. Phase Calculation:

   • The function computes the phase $P$ in degrees, depending on the value of $f$ relative to f1 and f2.
   • The phase transition happens around these break points:
     • Below 0.1 $f1$: Phase is flat at $0^\circ$.
     • Between 0.1 $f1$ and 10 $f1$: Linear transition up to $+90^\circ$.
     • Between 10 $f1$ and 0.1 $f2$: Phase is flat at $+90^\circ$.
     • Between 0.1 $f2$ and 10 $f2$: Linear transition down to $-90^\circ$.
     • Above 10 $f2$: Phase is flat at $-90^\circ$.

3. Magnitude Calculation:

   • The magnitude calculation is missing in the code provided.

Adding the Magnitude Calculation

To complete this function, we need to add code for the magnitude calculation. Here’s a rough outline of how to approach it:

1. Magnitude Calculation (dB scale):
   • For each frequency region, the magnitude should be calculated based on the transfer function's zeros and poles.
   • Use the straight-line approximation for the Bode magnitude plot, considering the slopes caused by the zero at $f1$ and the complex poles at $f2$.

Would you like me to complete the magnitude portion, or explain specific aspects of the MATLAB code?

Tip:

When sketching Bode plots, always note the effect of each pole and zero separately before combining them for the overall response. This helps in understanding the cumulative effect on both magnitude and phase.
