At the Gain Crossover Frequency?

The gain crossover is the frequency at which the open-loop gain first reaches the value 1 and so is 0.005 Hz. Thus, the phase margin

phase margin
Phase margin is the amount of phase shift when the (VFB) amplifier's gain passes through 0dB. It is basically a measure of how close the second pole of the system is to causing instability. Phase starts to change on the order of a decade before the corner frequency. The phase shift must be less than 180°.

is 180° − 120°=60°.

What is the magnitude at the gain crossover frequency?

The frequency Wcp at which the magnitude is 1.0 is called the unity-gain frequency or gain crossover frequency. Usually, gain margins of three or more combined with phase margins between 30° and 60° result in reasonable tradeoffs between bandwidth and stability.

What is gain crossover frequency in Bode plot?

Gain Crossover Frequency: It refers to the frequency at which the magnitude curve cuts the zero dB axis in the bode plot. Phase Crossover Frequency: It refers to the frequency at which phase curve cuts the negative times the 180o axis in this plot.
