To review the relationship between open-loop frequency response and closed-loop step responses, consider the following Bode plots of open-loop systems, H(s), and the step responses of closed-loop systems,

Please match the bode plot of H(s) with the step response of \frac{H(s)}{1+H(s)}. In order to find matches, consider what step response features such as overshoot and oscillation period indicate about the closed-loop transfer function, what Bode plot features like changes in slope indicate about the open-loop transfer function, and most importantly, what phase margin in the open-loop bode plot indicates about the closed-loop behavior.
