Root Locus Analysis & Design

• A designer would like:

– To know if the system is absolutely stable and
the degree of stability.
– To predict a system’s performance by an
analysis that does NOT require the actual
solution of the differential equations.
– The analysis to indicate readily the manner or
method by which this system must be adjusted
or compensated to produce the desired
performance characteristics.
