Nyquist Plots

Nyquist plots display both the amplitude and phase angle of a system's frequency response on a single plot, using frequency as a parameter. Nyquist plots allow you to determine if a closed-loop system is stable or unstable based on whether the plot encircles the point (-1,0) as frequency ranges from -∞ to +∞. To create a Nyquist plot, the transfer function is first converted from the s-domain to the jω domain. Then, the magnitude and phase angle are evaluated at ω values of 0+ and +∞ and plotted to connect those points.

• What is a Nyquist Plot?

Nyquist plot is a plot used mostly in control and signal processing and can be used
to predict the stability and performance of a closed-loop system.
• a polar plot of the frequency response function of a system
• Bode' plots use frequency as the horizontal axis and use two separate plots to display
amplitude and phase of the frequency response
• Nyquist plots display both amplitude and phase angle on a single plot, using frequency as
a parameter in the plot
• Nyquist plots have properties that allow you to see whether a system is stable or
unstable
STEPS
1. Change Transfer Function From “s” Domain To “jw” Domain
• First, If the transfer function G(s) is given in “s” domain, transfer it to “jω” domain.
2. Find The Magnitude & Phase Angle Equations
• Write an equation explaining the Magnitude and Phase Angle of the transfer function
(now in “jω” form) that would look like:

G( j) G( j)


3. Evaluate At Point “0+” and “+∞” points
• Evaluate the magnitude and phase angle equations found above, at ω (omega) values of
“0+” and “+∞” points.
4. Find The Positions of “0+” & “+∞” On The Plot, And Connect Them

NYQUIST STABILITY

• If open loop Nyquist plot of a feedback system encircles the point (-1, 0) as the
frequency ꙍ takes any value from -∞ to +∞, the closed-loop response is unstable
