Let us continue this study by computing \(OLFRF(\omega)\) and displaying it as a Nyquist plot for an intermediate value of gain, \(\Lambda=4.75\), for which Figure \(\PageIndex{3}\) shows the closed-loop system is unstable. This has one pole at \(s = 1/3\), so the closed loop system is unstable.

In this case the winding number around -1 is 0 and the Nyquist criterion says the closed loop system is stable if and only if the open loop system is stable. Gain margin (GM) is defined by Equation 17.1.8, from which we find, \[\frac{1}{G M(\Lambda)}=|O L F R F(\omega)|_{\mid} \mid \text {at }\left.\angle O L F R F(\omega)\right|_{\Lambda}=-180^{\circ}\label{eqn:17.17} \]. This typically means that the parameter is swept logarithmically, in order to cover a wide range of values. Step 1 Verify the necessary condition for the Routh-Hurwitz stability. If the counterclockwise detour was around a double pole on the axis (for example two {\displaystyle F(s)} by Cauchy's argument principle. s are, respectively, the number of zeros of The Nyquist criterion allows us to answer two questions: 1. 1 To be able to analyze systems with poles on the imaginary axis, the Nyquist Contour can be modified to avoid passing through the point The new system is called a closed loop system. 2. ) ) Precisely, each complex point Z We will look a {\displaystyle 0+j\omega } ) Physically the modes tell us the behavior of the system when the input signal is 0, but there are initial conditions. Gain \(\Lambda\) has physical units of s-1, but we will not bother to show units in the following discussion. G ) If the answer to the first question is yes, how many closed-loop poles are outside the unit circle?

The above consideration was conducted with an assumption that the open-loop transfer function G ( s ) {displaystyle G(s)} does not have any pole on the imaginary axis (i.e. poles of the form 0 + j {displaystyle 0+jomega } ). T = If the number of poles is greater than the We regard this closed-loop system as being uncommon or unusual because it is stable for small and large values of gain \(\Lambda\), but unstable for a range of intermediate values. s T The Nyquist criterion gives a graphical method for checking the stability of the closed loop system. {\displaystyle F(s)} Describe the Nyquist plot with gain factor \(k = 2\). of poles of T(s)). This should make sense, since with \(k = 0\), \[G_{CL} = \dfrac{G}{1 + kG} = G. \nonumber\]. In control theory and stability theory, the Nyquist stability criterion or StreckerNyquist stability criterion, independently discovered by the German electrical engineer Felix Strecker[de] at Siemens in 1930[1][2][3] and the Swedish-American electrical engineer Harry Nyquist at Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1932,[4] is a graphical technique for determining the stability of a dynamical system.
