Since one of the vectors is in the numerator of GH and four are in the denominator, clearly lim !!1 jGH(j!)j=0 The rst part of the plot is shown in Figure 2 Wesee that the plot crosses the negativerealaxis at about -4.0. 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 3. To complete the contour, wemust evaluate GH along the semicircle of radius . Figure 4 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 in the picture, while in reality this radius goes to zero. Thus, along the semicircle GH( 6 )  20 6  1  6  6  2 α -1-2-3 θ 1 θ 2 θ 3 Im(s) Re(s) Figure 4: Evaluation of GH on Segment III = 1 6 ;2 As wetraverse the semicircle clockwise( cw), evaluating GH,theplot of GH will rotate c ounterclockwise (cw) through twice the angle we traversed along the semicircle, or 360  .The nal Nyquist plot is shown in Figure 5. For a gain of 20, GH crosses the negative real axis at -4.0. Clearly,ifwe reduce the gain the plot will cross to the rightof;1 instead of to the left. For a gain of K =20=4=5;; the plot passes through ;1. This information can also be obtained from the Bode magnitude and phase plots shown in Figure 6. For gains below5,thepoint ;1intheGH-plane is in region I.asshown in Figure 5,the number of encirclements is N =2,and the Nyquist equation is Z = N +2 = 2+2 = 4 This means there are four closed loop poles inside in the s-plane. Since encloses the left half of the s-plane, there are no unstable poles for gains below K =2:5. Note carefully that P =2becausethe twopoles of GH at the origin are not inside . 3 Im(GH) Re(GH) I II a Figure 5: Completed Nyquist Plot For gains above K>5, ;1isinregion II.Inthis case N = ;1+1=0 because wehaveoneclockwise and one counterclockwise enciclement. Then Z = N +P = 0+2 = 2 This means that for K>5 there are twoclosedlooppolesinside the contour , that is twoclosed loop poles in the left half of the s plane.
