At the same time the magnitude of eachofthe vectors in Figure 1 be-

This can also be seen from the Bode plots in Figure 2, where

GH ap-

and the magnitude plot is descending at -20 db/decade for
large !.
The rst part of the nyquist plot is shown in Figure 3.
Weseethat the plot starts on the negativerealaxis of the GH-plane
at ;2 for K =1.From the Bode plot we see that the plot moves into the
second quadrantbefore recrossing the imaginary axis in the GH-plane and
nally approaching the origin at an angle of ;90
.

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, point `a' of the
plot will cross the imaginary axis rightat;1. Thus for 0 <K<0:5point
`a' will be to the rightof;1, placing ;1inregion I. As the gain increases
beyond K =0:5, the point ;1willbeinregion II. Further increasing the
gain will eventually put point `b' at ;1. The gain to do this can be obtained
from the bode plot. That is, for K =1GH(j1:3) = ;1

We then havethree cases:
1. For 0 <K<0:5, the point ;1isinregion I and there are no encir-
clements. The Nyquist equation is
Z = N +P
= 0+1
= 1
This means there is one closed loop pole inside
in the s-plane. Since
encloses the left half of the s-plane, there is one stable pole and one
unstable pole for 0 <K<0:50.
2. For 0:5 <K<1thepoint ;1isinregion II and there is one clockwise
encirclementof;1. Since wewent around
in the counterclockwise
direction, wehaveone negativeencirclement. Thus the Nyquist equa-
tion is
Z = N +P
= ;1+1
= 0
Thus for 0:5 <K<1 there are no closed loop poles in the left half
plane.
3. For K>1, the point ;1isinregion III and wehaveonecounter-
clockwise encirclement leading to one positiveencirclement. Thus the
Nyquist equation is
Z = N +P
= 1+1
= 2
Thus for K>1there are no unstable poles.
The root locus is shown in Figure 5. The break-out pointistothe left
