Why nyquist plots

Note: This plot is zoomed in the original Matlab plot has axes with much higher limits, making it hard to decipher. This Nyquist Diagram is a little hard to decipher because the branches go off towards infinity.

This system has a pole at the origin i. This is clear on the NyquistGui plot, but is not shown on the Matlab plot. Whenever a detour around a pole is required, this is not shown on the Matlab plot, and the user must understand what happens going around the detour. In this case, since there is a single pole at the origin and the detour in "s" has radius approaching zero and moves in the counterclockwise direction, you know that the part of the Nyquist plot that is not shown must be a semicircle at infinity in the clockwise direction.

Since the gain margin is 3. Let's test this. If we multiply L s by 5. I omit the real part for the reason we just discussed - as soon as I move onto the positive real axis at a distance of infinity from the origin, the phase contribution from the transfer function basically looks like zero to me.

So I can omit considerations of the real component of the transfer function completely from this procedure. Figure 2. Next we need to find the imaginary and real axis intercepts of the Nyquist plot. To do this, I am going to rationalize the denominator of my transfer function and then separate the real and imaginary components as shown below.

I can solve for the intercept for the imaginary axis by setting the real axis component equal to zero and solving for w.

Then I plug this value of w into the imaginary component to get the imaginary axis intercept. A dual-polymer strategy boosts hydrated vanadium oxide for ammonium-ion storage.

This selected path is called the Nyquist contour.

So, the poles of the closed loop transfer function are nothing but the roots of the characteristic equation. As the order of the characteristic equation increases, it is difficult to find the roots.

So, let us correlate these roots of the characteristic equation as follows. The Poles of the characteristic equation are same as that of the poles of the open loop transfer function.
