Could someone please show me what the discrete-time version of Bode's
amplitude/phase relation looks like?

Discrete-time is an approximation to analogue so Bodes Theorem is the
same. There are no quick short-cuts for plotting Bode-plots however
such as asmyptotic approximations ie straight line approximations with
slopes multiples of +/- 20ndB/decade where n is 1,2,3etc

Eh? Aside from being completely wrong that's a very sensible and wise
statement.

Discrete time is discrete time, and within discrete time the z transform
is exact. The Bode theorem is exact within discrete time control
because the z transform is exact.

There's absolutely no reason at all that one has to make any
approximations when doing discrete time control of a continuous-time
plant (ask me how before you start your flame). Sometimes the
approximations are convenient, but they are not necessary.

Too true, at least for traditional "on paper" short cuts. Fortunately
Scilab/Matlab/Octave/etc. make _really good_ short cuts, and even Excel
can be coerced to do the job.

A heck of a lot like the continuous-time version. The interpretation of
a Bode plot of a sampled-time control system is exactly the same as the
interpretation of one for a continuous-time system -- only the fact that
the thing repeats at Fs/2 and beyond is different (and handy -- you're
never left worrying if you've ignored something important).

Here's some examples:

That paper got cut up and scattered around in two or three chapters of
my book, which has a much more complete treatment of just about
everything the paper touches:

Actually no. There is nothing special because you sample a system or a
signal.
If you sample fast enought you get back to analogue. Digital is just
an approximation to analogue, nothing more.
For example, take an integrator K/s. Use the Bilinear transform and
sample high enough and it will have a slope of -20dB/decade just as
the analogue case and a phase of -90 degrees.. However, if you are
thinking of special contrived digital systems eg FIR then I might
agree.
