There is a problem with the LogLinearPlot routine in that it does not
properly sample the points of the curve. It uses linear sampling instead of
logarthmic sampling. Thus with the following example...

Needs["Graphics`Graphics`"]
Needs["Graphics`Colors`"]

SetOptions[LogLinearPlot, PlotStyle ->
     {Red, Blue}, PlotRange -> All,
    ImageSize -> 500];
db = 20*Log[10, Abs[#1]] & ;

h[s_] = (100*s + 100)/(s^2 + 110*s + 1000);
LogLinearPlot[{db[h[s]], Arg[h[I*s]]*(180/Pi)},
    {s, 10^(-2), 10^4}];

The algorithm used only two points between 0.01 and 10. Thus the first parts
of the curves are straight lines and are incorrect. Increasing the plot
points may help some, but it is working against the grain.

The following is a solution. Don't use LogLinearPlot at all.

logstep[f_][z_] := f[10^z]

Clear[db, phase]
db[h_][s_] := 20*Log[10, Abs[h[s]]]
phase[h_][s_] := Arg[h[I*s]]*(180/Pi)

h[s_] = (100*s + 100)/(s^2 + 110*s + 1000);
Plot[{logstep[db[h]][s], logstep[phase[h]][s]},
    {s, -2, 3},
    PlotStyle -> {Red, Blue},
    FrameTicks -> {LogScale, Automatic, None, None},
    Frame -> True,
    Axes -> None,
    ImageSize -> 450];

Now the curves are depicted correctly between 0.01 and 10.

The Log Plots example in the Help for the DrawGraphics package (from my web
site) illustrates this in more detail and actually displays the points that
Mathematica used in its rendering of a curve.

I used the code below for each example at the link:

http://www.swarthmore.edu/NatSci/echeeve1/Ref/Bode/BodeRules.html#Examples

In several cases I got what appears to be the same result as pictured at the
link, but in other cases I got very different plots. The fourth example is
particularly strange. Am I doing this wrong?

I'm plotting magnitude and phase on a single plot in each case, and I'm ONLY
plotting the exact curves -- assuming I have the right formulae for them. I
see no point in approximate plotting techniques, with exact plots readily
available.

Needs["Graphics`Graphics`"]
SetOptions[LogLinearPlot, PlotStyle ->
     {Red, Blue}, PlotRange -> All,
    ImageSize -> 500];
db = 20*Log[10, Abs[#1]] & ;

Clear[h]
h[s_] = 100/(s + 20);
LogLinearPlot[{db[h[s]], Arg[h[I*s]]*(180/Pi)},
    {s, 1, 10^3}];

h[s_] = (100*s + 100)/(s^2 + 110*s + 1000);
LogLinearPlot[{db[h[s]], Arg[h[I*s]]*(180/Pi)},
    {s, 10^(-2), 10^4}];

h[s_] = 10*((s + 10)/(s^2 + 3*s));
LogLinearPlot[{db[h[s]], Arg[h[I*s]]*(180/Pi)},
    {s, 10^(-1), 10^3}];

h[s_] = (-100*s)/(s^3 + 12*s^2 + 21*s + 10);
LogLinearPlot[{db[h[s]], Arg[h[I*s]]*(180/Pi)},
    {s, 10^(-2), 10^3}];

h[s_] = 30*((s + 10)/(s^2 + 3*s + 50));
LogLinearPlot[{db[h[s]], Arg[h[I*s]]*(180/Pi)},
    {s, 10^(-1), 10^3}];

h[s_] = 4*((s^2 + s + 25)/(s^3 + 100*s^2));
LogLinearPlot[{db[h[s]], Arg[h[I*s]]*(180/Pi)},
    {s, 10^(-1), 10^3}];

Here is a nice example from a website I found.
