  2. The gain margin and phase margin.
  3. The steady-state error.
  4. The transfer function of the system.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In stability analysis, what does a Nyquist plot help determine?
  • Step 1: Understand that a Nyquist plot is a graphical representation of a system's frequency response.
  • Step 2: Know that the plot shows how the system responds to different frequencies of input signals.
  • Step 3: Identify that the main purpose of the Nyquist plot is to analyze the stability of the system.
  • Step 4: Learn that stability means the system will behave predictably and not oscillate uncontrollably.
  • Step 5: Recognize that the Nyquist plot helps find two important values: gain margin and phase margin.
  • Step 6: Gain margin tells us how much we can increase the system's gain before it becomes unstable.
  • Step 7: Phase margin indicates how much the phase can change before the system becomes unstable.
  • Step 8: Conclude that by examining these margins on the Nyquist plot, we can determine if the system is stable.
