Solution: 10.8.2.1 For GH(s)= K(s+4) (s+2)(s;1) The angle contributions of eachofthe poles and zeros can be determined from the vector diagram of gure 1. For ! =0, =  2 =0  while  1 =180  . θ 1 θ 2α Im(s) Re(s) -4 -2 1 Figure 1: Vector Components of GH Thus 6 GH(j0) = ;180  : For K =1, jGH(j0)j= 4 21 =2 As ! !1, ,  1 ,and 2 all appproch90  ,Sothat lim !!1 6 GH(j!)=;90  : At the same time the magnitude of eachofthe vectors in Figure 1 be- comes in nite in length. Since one of the vectors is in the numerator of GH and twoare in the denominator, clearly lim !!1 jGH(j!)j=0 This can also be seen from the Bode plots in Figure 2, where 6 GH ap- proaches ;90  and the magnitude plot is descending at -20 db/decade for large !.

As weevaluate GH along part II of , weremainessentially at the origin. To draw the portion of the Nyquist plot that corresponds to evaluating GH along part I  of the contour wesimply take 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. This completes the contour. Because GH has no poles at the origin, we do not havetodetour around the origin of the s-plane on a semicircle of radius . From the Nyquist plot, weseethat for a gain of 1, GH crosses the negativereal axis at ;2. Clearly,ifwedecrease the gain to 0.5, the plot will cross the imaginary axis rightat;1. Thus, for K>0:5 the plot will cross the imaginary axis of the GH-plane to the left of ;1. 3 1 Re(s) Im(s) -4 -2 Figure 5: Root Locus For K<0:5, the point ;1isinregion I, and the numberofencirclements is N =0.The Nyquist equation is Z = N +P = 0+1 = 1 This means there is one closed loop poles inside in the s-plane. Since encloses the left half of the s-plane, there is one stable and one unstable pole for K<0:5. For K>0:5 The point ;1inthe GH-plane is in region II. In this case N =1.The sign of N is positivebecause the encirclement of ;1isinthe counterclockwise (ccw) direction, and in our evaluation of GH along we traveled counterclockwise(cw). Thus, Z = N +P = 1+1 = 2 This means that for K>0:5 there are twoclosed loop poles inside the contour , that is twoclosed looppoles in the left half of the s-plane. The root locus is shown in Figure 5. The break-out pointistothe left of the origin in the s-plane. 4
