Simple Nyquist Theorem:For the loop transfer function, B(iw), if B(iw) has no poles in the right hand side, expect for simple poles on the imaginary axis, then the system is stable if there are no encirclements of the critical point -1.-1RealImaginaryPlane of the Open Loop Transfer Function B(0)B(iw)
-1 is called the critical pointStableUnstable-B(iw)Nyquist Gain ScalingThe form of the Nyquist plot is scaled by the system gain
Conditional StabiltyWhlie most system increase stability by decreasing gain, some can be stabilized by increasing gainShow with Sisotool
Definition of StableA system described the solution (the response) is stable if that systems response stay arbitrarily near some value, a, for all of time greater than some value, tf.
Full Nyquist Theorem Assume that the transfer function B(iw) with P poles has been plotted as a Nyquist plot. Let N be the number of clockwise encirclements of -1 by B(iw) minus the counterclockwise encirclements of -1 by B(iw)Then the closed loop system has Z=N+P poles in the right half plane.

Is Stability Enough?If not Why Not?MarginsMargins are the range from the current system design to the edge of instability. We will determine
Gain MarginHow much can gain be increased?Formally: the smallest multiple amount the gain can be increased before the closed loop response is unstable.
Phase MarginHow much further can the phase be shifted?Formally: the smallest amount the phase can be increased before the closed loop response is unstable.Stability MarginHow far is the the system from the critical point?
Gain and Phase Margin DefinitionNyquist Plot-1
Example
Using Matlab command
nyquist(gs)Example
Here the gain from the previous plot has beenmultiplied by 3.2359
The result is that stability is about to be lost
Example
Using Matlab command
nyquist(gs)
Gain and Phase Margin DefinitionBode PlotsPositive Gain MarginPhase Margin-1800Phase, degMagnitude, dBwwPhase Crossover FrequencyExample
Using Matlab command
bode(gs)
Example
Again, stability is about tobe lost.Example
Using Matlab command
bode(gs)
NoteThe book does not plot the Magnitude of the Bode Plot in decibels.
Therefore, you will get different results than the book where decibels are required.
Matlab uses decibels where needed.
Stability MarginIt is possible for a system to have relatively large gain and phase margins, yet be relatively unstable.

Non-Minimum Phase SystemsNon minimum phase systems are those systems which have poles on the right hand side of the plane: they have positive real parts. This terminology comes from a phase shift with sinusoidal inputsConsider the transfer functionsThe magnitude plots of a Bode diagram are exactly the same but the phase has a major difference:
Another Non Minimum Phase SystemA DelayDelays are modeled by the function which multiplies the T.F.
