Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

one LHP pole and one RHP zero at the same frequency.

Solution :

The correct option is one LHP pole and one RHP zero at the same frequency.

Analysis of the Bode Plot:
From the provided image:

1. The Bode magnitude plot is constant across all frequencies. This indicates that the system is an all-pass filter, where the gain is constant for all frequencies.
2. The phase starts at 0° at low frequencies (f0) and asymptotically approaches -180° at high frequencies (f).

Transfer Function Derivation:
For a system to have a constant magnitude at all frequencies, the poles and zeros must be symmetric with respect to the imaginary axis in the s-plane. Since the system is stable, its poles must lie in the Left Half Plane (LHP).

Let us consider a first-order system with a pole in the Left Half Plane (LHP) at s=-a (where a>0) and a zero in the Right Half Plane (RHP) at s=a at the same frequency:

H(s)=a-sa+s

1. Magnitude Response:
Substituting s=jω:

|H(jω)|=|a-jω| |a+jω|=a2+ω2a2+ω2=1

This confirms that the magnitude is constant at all frequencies.

2. Phase Response:
The phase of the system is given by:

H(jω)=(a-jω)-(a+jω)=-arctanωa-arctanωa=-2arctanωa

Checking the asymptotic values:
- At low frequencies (ω0):

H(j0)=-2arctan(0)=0°

- At high frequencies (ω):

H(j)=-2arctan()=-2(90°)=-180°

This matches the phase response shown in the diagram. Thus, the system has one LHP pole and one RHP zero at the same frequency.
