That is, the three arbitrarily short vectors in the denominator of GH send
the magnitude of GH to innityforany xed gain K.
The next question is how GH(j)approaches the origin of the GH-plane.
By examining the Bode mangitude and phase plots of Figure 2 Weseethat
as ! increases the angle of GH moves steadily from ;270
to ;360
.At the
same time the magnitude goes to zero. The value of gain chosen is K =1,
but anyvalue will work just as well.
The asymptotic behavior of the plot of GH can also be determined from

The rst part of the plot of GH,namely the mapping of the positivehalf
of the imaginary axis of the s-plane into the GH-plane is shown in Figure 3
Wesee that the plot never crosses the negativerealaxis.
As weevaluate GH along part 2 of

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 1, 2, and 1
is shown in
Figure 4.

To complete the contour, wemust evaluate GH along the semicircle of
radius . Figure 5
depicts this evaluation. Note that the vector drawn from s = ;10 to the
semicircle has nite length, and an associated angle of zero. The angles are
zero, because the radius of the semicircle is arbitrarily small. The vector
drawn from the origin to the semicircle represents eachofthepoles at the
origin. Eachpoleatthe origin is thus represented byavector of arbitrarily
small length and angle .Thus, along the semicircle

As we traverse the semicircle clockwise( cw), evaluating GH, the plot
of GH will rotate counterclockwise (ccw) through thrice the angle of 180
wetraverse along the semicircle, or 540
.The nal Nyquist plot is shown
in Figure 6. We see from the nal Nyquist plot that there is always one
counterclockwise encirclementofGH = ;1forany gain K wechoose. Thus
the Nyquist equation is
Z = N +P
= 1+1
= 2
This says that for any K>0 the closed loop system is unstable becasue
only two closed loop poles are inside the left half of the s plane.

Figure 7: Root Locus
The root locus is shown in Figure 7. Note that the two branches of the
root locus go immediately into the righthalfofthes-plane and stay there.
Thus the system is always unstable, in agreementwith the Nyquist analysis.
