This is a sheet of 5 cycle, semi-log paper.
This is the type of paper usually used for
preparing Bode plots.

Using Matlab For Frequency Response
Instruction: We can use Matlab to run the frequency response for
the following example. We place the transfer function
in the form:
5000 ( s +10) [ 5000 s + 50000 ]
=
( s +1)( s + 500 ) [ s + 501s + 500 ]

The Matlab Program
num = [5000 50000];
den = [1 501 500];
Bode (num,den)
In the following slide, the resulting magnitude and phase plots (exact)
are shown in light color (blue). The approximate plot for the magnitude
(Bode) is shown in heavy lines (red). We see the 3 dB errors at the
corner frequencies.
