The rst part of the plot is shown in Figure 3 Wesee that the plot crosses
the negativerealaxis twice.
As weevaluate GH along part 2 of
, weremainessentially at the origin.
To draw the portion of the Nyquist plot that corresponds to evaluating GH
along part 1
of the
contour wesimplytake the mirror image through the
real axis of the rst part of the Nyquist contour shown above. Thus, the
contour generated byevaluating GH along portions I, II, and I
is shown
in Figure 4.
To complete the contour, wemust evaluate GH along the semicircle of
radius . Figure 5 depicts this evaluation. Note that all the vectors except
that drawn from the origin have nite length, and associated angles of zero.
The angles are zero, because the radius of the semicircle is arbitrarily small.
This doesn't appear to be the case because the semicircle has a large radius

As we traverse the semicircle counterclockwise( ccw), evaluating GH, the
plot of GH will rotate clockwise (cw) through twice the angle we traversed
along the semicircle, or 360
.The nal Nyquist plot is shown in Figure 6.
For a gain of 50, GH crosses the negativerealaxis twice. From the Bode
plot we see that the rst crossing occurs for s = j2:5, and the magnitude is
jGH(j2:5)j=10
;15=20
=0:1778:
The second crossing is at s = j10 with a magnitude of

For 0 <K;;281 the point(;1;;0) is in region I and the Nyquist equation
is
Z = N +P
= 2+0
= 2
This means there are twoclosed loop poles inside
in the s-plane. Since
encloses the righthalfofthe s-plane, there are two unstable poles for gains
below K<281.
For 281 <K;;2506 the point(;1;;0) is in region II,where wehaveone
clockwise and one counterclockwise encirclement, and the Nyquist equation
is
Z = N +P
= ;1+1+0
= 0
This means there are no closed loop poles inside
in the s-plane. Since
encloses the righthalfofthe s-plane, there are no unstable poles for
281K<2505.
For 2506 <K,thepoint(;1;;0) is in region III,wehavetwo clockwise
encirclementsof(;1;;0). The Nyquist equation is
Z = N +P
= 2+0
= 2
This means that for 2506 <Kthere are twoclosed loop poles inside the
contour
, that is tw0 closed loop poles in the right half plane.
Note that the root locus crosses the imaginary axis at w 2:5, and
