Assignment questions on Polar and Nyquist plot
1. Sketch the polar plots of the open-loop transfer function
G(s)H(s) =

K(Ta s + 1)(Tb s + 1)
s2 (T s + 1)

Where Ta > T > 0 and Tb > T > 0

2. Sketch the polar plots of the open-loop transfer function
G(s)H(s) =

K(Ta s + 1)(Tb s + 1)
s2 (T s + 1)

Where T > Ta > 0 and T > Tb > 0

3. A system with the open-loop transfer function
K
s2 (T1 s + 1)

G(s)H(s) =

is inherently unstable.This system can be stabilized by adding derivative control. Sketch

the polar plots for the open-loop transfer function with and without derivative control.
4. Draw a Nyquist locus for the unity-feedback control system with the open-loop transfer
function
G(s)H(s) =

K(1 s)
s+1

Using the Nyquist stability criterion, determine the stability of the closed-loop system.
5. Consider the closed-loop system with the following open-loop transfer function:
G(s)H(s) =

10K(s + 0.5)
s2 (s + 2)(s + 10)

Plot both the direct and inverse polar plots of G(s)H(s) with K=1 and K=10. Apply the
Nyquist stability criterion to the plots, and determine the stability of the system with
these values of K.
6. Draw a Nyquist plot of the following G(s):
G(s) =

s(s2

1
+ 0.8s + 1)

7. Consider a unity-feedback control system with the following open-loop transfer function:
G(s) =

s3

1
+ 0.2s2 + s + 1

Draw a Nyquist plot of G(s) and examine the stability of the system.
8. Consider a unity-feedback control system with the following open-loop transfer function:
G(s) =

s2 + 2s + 1
s3 + 0.2s2 + s + 1

Draw a Nyquist plot of G(s) and examine the stability of the closed-loop system.
9. Consider the unity-feedback control system with the following open-loop transfer function G(s):
G(s) =

K(s + 2)
s(s + 1)(s + 10)

Plot Nyquist diagrams of G(s) for K=1, 10, and 100.

10. Consider a negative-feedback system with the following open-loop transfer function:
G(s) =

2
s(s + 1)(s + 2)

Plot the Nyquist diagram of G(s). If the system were a positive- feedback one with the
same open-loop transfer function G(s), what would the Nyquist diagram look like?
