Solve equation that has a complex subexpression

I want to solve the following equation for omega:
where
So I tried this:
syms s omega G(s)
G(s) = 10/(s*(1+s)*(1+0.2*s));
% Try to find omega that satisfies the equation:
solve(angle(subs(G(s),s,omega*j))-deg2rad(-135),omega,'Real',true)
Result:
Error using mupadengine/feval_internal (line 172)
No complex subexpressions allowed in real mode.
Error in solve (line 293)
sol = eng.feval_internal('solve', eqns, vars, solveOptions);
Although there is an imaginary number in the expression, the decision variable is real and the expression evaluates to a real number (due to angle) so I don't see why it should have a problem solving this.
Obviously, I can think of other ways to solve the problem, but it would be nice to just use angle on the whole transfer function.
% Get solution a different way:
omega_sol = solve(-pi/2-atan2(omega,1)-atan2(omega,5)-deg2rad(-135),omega)
% Confirm solution:
subs(angle(subs(G(s),s,omega*j))-deg2rad(-135),omega,omega_sol)
omega_sol =
0.7417
ans =
-1.8367e-40
In summary, is there any way to solve the original expression for omega directly:
angle(subs(G(s),s,omega*j)) == deg2rad(-135)

Solving for the tangent of the phase angle, rather than using the arctangent of the transfer function, appears to produce the correct result:
syms s omega G(s)
assume(omega > 0)
G(s) = 10/(s*(1+s)*(1+0.2*s));
G = subs(G, s, 1j*omega)
OMG = solve(imag(G)/real(G) == tan(deg2rad(-135)), omega)
vpaOMG = vpa(OMG)
producing:
vpaOMG =
0.74165738677394138558374873231655

As always, my pleasure!
I thought about using ‘1j*omega’ as a function argument, however went with subs because that was in your original code, and there was some reason you specifically used it.

I’m not certain what you’re plotting.
Experiment with something like this:
ad = -180:20:180;
ad360 = mod(ad+360,360);
ar = -pi:0.31:pi;
ar2pi = mod(ar+2*pi,2*pi);
.
