In summary, the conversation discusses the process of plotting transfer functions and finding their resonance frequency and bandwidth using Matlab. The speaker mentions being weak in Matlab knowledge but has learned how to program through examples online and in a book. However, they are having trouble using the bode command, which is typically used in these examples. The speaker suspects that their Matlab may be missing this built-in command, and asks for verification and further resources on using bode in Matlab.

I am trying to plot transfer functions and find their resonance frequency and bandwidthy.

Apart with me being weak in Matlab knowledge, I kinda know how to do the programming because of examples on the internet and book.

However, every example talks about using a bode command.

I try to put in the example from the book exactly how they have it just to test that it works.

Everytime I use bode, Matlab states that it is an undefined variable or function.

Im thinking my Matlab may be jacked up because none of the examples have anything about putting something to define bode which makes me think it should be built in.

Can anyone verify if bode is a built in command in Matlab?

Yes, the bode command is a built-in function in Matlab. It is used to plot the frequency response of a system, including the resonance frequency and bandwidth. If you are receiving an error stating that bode is an undefined variable or function, it is possible that your Matlab installation may be missing some necessary toolboxes or packages. I would suggest checking your installation and making sure all required toolboxes are installed. You can also try updating your Matlab to the latest version. If the issue persists, you can reach out to Matlab technical support for further assistance.
