Nyquist Plot Notes

A. Stolp 4/3/08, 4/9/09

A Nyquist plot is essentially a polar Bode plot. Like a Bode plot, it is plotted for the Open-Loop (OL) Transfer function and will give information about the stability of the Closed-Loop (CL) system.
Open-Loop (OL) Transfer function: G( s ) = N G( s ) D G( s ) m = number of zeros n = number of poles

Basic Nyquist Rules


1. "Clean up" any "-s" term s in G(s) by multiplying by -1 as needed. If a "-" remains in G(s), the Nyquist plot will be m irrored about the im aginary axis. (rare) Start at G(0), the DC gain, a point on the real axis. If G(s) has a zero at the origin: If G(s) has a pole at the origin: G( 0 ) = 0 G( 0 ) = + - +180o + 0 o, +360 o -90o, 270 o -j Plot ---> almost always + +j -270 o, 90o

2.

Check initial phase angle as you would for a Bode plot.

3.

End at G(). n < m (rare) n = m

Plot ---> G(), a point on the real axis

n-m = 3

n > m Plot ---> 0 (most com mon) 4. 5.

Angle of approach to origin =

(n

m ) . ( 90. deg )

n-m = 2

n-m = 4

Plot the rest of the frequency response of G(s). It may help to start with Bode plots. The < 0 curve (dashed line) is simply the mirror image of the > 0 curve about the real axis. This part of the curve is usually not necessary, it doesn't provide any more information. Gain, k, m akes entire plot grow in all directions (or shrink if k<1).

n-m = 1

7.

Z = N+P
P = OL poles in RHP N = CW encirclements of -1, Z = CL poles in RHP
(0 if open-loop stable) CCW encirclements are counted as negative and m ay make up for P.

(must be zero (or < 0) if closed-loop stable)

8.

ANY CW encirclements means Closed-Loop system is UNSTABLE N > 0 --> CL unstable

If you have the < 0 curve (dashed line), then you can use any single-ended line that starts at -1 to help you count encirclements.

If you don't have the < 0 curve (dashed line), then m ake your line extend both directions from -1.

(0 if open-loop stable) CL System CANNOT be stable if

-N can make up for +P. and stabilize

(must be zero (or < 0) if closed-loop stable)

Gain Margin (GM) and Phase Margin (PM)


To find the Phase Margin (PM):

ECE 3510

Nyquist Plot Notes p.3

1. Find where the Nyquist plot crosses the unit circle. These crossings separate the unit circle into regions. 2. Decide which of these regions have unacceptable CW encirclements. 3. Determine what phase change would cause the -1 point to be an unacceptable region, usually 180o - / crossing

PM = 207

180 = 27 deg

To find the Gain Margin (GM): 1. Find where the Nyquist plot crosses the negative real axis. These crossings separate the negative real axis into regions. 2. Decide which of these regions have unacceptable CW encirclements. 3. Determine what gain would cause the -1 point to be an unacceptable region, usually 4. Usually there is just one upper limit of gain-- in that case report that as the Gain Margin. 5. If there is a lower lim it of gain, report the Gain Margin as: GM = Lower limit , upper limit If there is no upper limit, then report it as G( s ) (s 1.5 . ( s 1 ). s
