That is, the twoarbitrarily 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 ;180
to 270
.At the
same time the magnitude goes to zero. This can also be determined from

The rst part of the plot of GH,namely the mapping of the negativehalf
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
, weremainessentially at the origin.
To draw the portion of the Nyquist plot that corresponds to evaluating GH
along part I 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 vectors drawn
from s = ;10, s = ;1 and s = ;2tothesemicircle all havenite 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 eachofthe twopoles at the origin. Eachpoleatthe
origin is thus represented byavector of arbitrarily small length and angle

As we traverse the semicircle clockwise( cw), evaluating GH, the plot
of GH will rotate counterclockwise (ccw) through twice the angle of 180
wetraverse along the semicircle, or 360
.The nal Nyquist plot is shown
in Figure 6. We see from the nal Nyquist plot that there are always two
counterclockwise encirclements of s = ;1forany gain K wechoose. Since
wewent around
in the clockwise direction, the encirclements must have
a negative sign. Then wenotthat all the poles of GH are inside
since it
encloses the left half of the s plane. Thus the Nqquist equation is
Z = N + P
= ;2+4
= 2
This says that for any K>0the closed loop system is unstable since only
twoifthe four closed loop poles are inside the left half plane.
The root locus is shown in Figure 7. Note that the twopoles at the
origin migrate immediately into the righthalfofthes-plane and stay there.
