Solution 5.8.3.6 For the system of Figure 1 let G H +R C Figure 1: Standard Closed Loop Con guration GH = K(s+4;j4)(s+4+j4)(s+1) s(s+2;j2)(s+2+j2) = The rst step in drawing the root locus is to plot the poles and zeros of GH.Thepoles of GH are not the closed loop pole locations, but they can be used to nd the closed loop poles. The closed loop zeros can be found immediately: they are the zeros of G and the poles of H.Thepoles and zeros of GH serves as landmarks that help in nding the poles of the closed loop system. The portion of the root locus on the real axis is the shaded region shown in Figure 2. This region is determined byinvoking the rule that states that root locus on the real axis is found to the left of an odd countofpoles and zeros of GH. The root locus has three poles and three nite zeros. All of the limbs of the root locus will end at the nite zeros, and there are no asymptotes. The root locus is shown in Figure 3.
