Finding Asymptotes from a frequency responce of a set of data

Jan 06, 2006 4 Replies

Hi



Can anyone help me find asymptote from a set of data in two column x and y that show the frequency responce of a say a RC network (e.g. bode plot)? Finding it from a function seem relatively easy but without a model for the data is there a method of finding two lines that meet to produce the turning point?


Cheers

Hi James

Thanks. I have already done this but I was hoping I could get some method of conducting it in say Excel?

Cheers

Plot _absolute_ data on log-log paper. And draw asymptotes to find intercept.

Or dB as the linear y-axis and frequency as the log x-axis.
