Gain margin is simply equal to the gain at phase cross over frequency ( p
). Phase cross over frequency is the frequency at which phase angle is equal
to 180c.
From the table we can see that +G (jp) = 180c, at which gain is 0.5.
GM = 20 log 10 e = 20 log b 1 l = 6 dB
G (jp) o

0.5
Phase Margin is equal to 180c plus the phase angle g at the gain cross over
frequency ( g ). Gain cross over frequency is the frequency at which gain is
unity.
From the table it is clear that G (jg) = 1, at which phase angle is 150c
PM = 180c + +G (jg) = 180 150 = 30c

We know that steady state error is given by

where R (s) " input
G (s) " open loop transfer function
For unit step input
R (s) = 1

So ess = lim = 0.1
s " 0 1 + G (s)

G (0) = 9
Given input r (t) = 10 [ (t) (t 1)]

SOL 6.7 Option (B) is correct.

Transfer function having at least one zero or pole in RHS of s -plane is called
non-minimum phase transfer function.
G (s) = s1
(s + 2) (s + 3)
In the given transfer function one zero is located at s = 1 (RHS), so this
is a non-minimum phase system.
Poles 2, 3 , are in left side of the complex plane, So the system is
stable

G (s) = 2

Steps for plotting the root-locus
(1) Root loci starts at s = 0, s = 0 and s = 2
(2) n > m , therefore, number of branches of root locus b = 3
(3) Angle of asymptotes is given by

R (s) 1 + 1 s + s (1 + K ) + 1
s (s + 1 + K )
This is a second order system transfer function, characteristic equation is
s2 + s (1 + K) + 1 = 0
Comparing with standard form
s2 + 2n s + n2 = 0
We get = 1+K

Stability :
Eigen value of the system are calculated as
A I = 0
1 2 0 1 2
A I = > H > H =>
0 2 0 0 2 H
A I = ( 1 ) (2 ) 2 # 0 = 0
& 1, 2 = 1, 2
Since eigen values of the system are of opposite signs, so it is unstable
Controllability :

Given characteristic equation
s (s + 1) (s + 3) + K (s + 2) = 0 ; K>0
s (s2 + 4s + 3) + K (s + 2) = 0
s3 + 4s2 + (3 + K) s + 2K = 0
From Rouths tabulation method
s3 1 3+K
s2 4 2K
s1 4 (3 + K) 2K (1) 12 + 2K
= >0
4 4
s0 2K
There is no sign change in the first column of routh table, so no root is lying
in right half of s -plane.
For plotting root locus, the equation can be written as
K (s + 2)
1+ =0
s (s + 1) (s + 3)
Open loop transfer function
K (s + 2)
G (s) =
s (s + 1) (s + 3)
Root locus is obtained in following steps:
1. No. of poles n = 3 , at s = 0, s = 1 and s = 3
2. No. of Zeroes m = 1, at s = 2
3. The root locus on real axis lies between s = 0 and s = 1, between
s = 3 and s = 2 .
4. Breakaway point lies between open loop poles of the system. Here
breakaway point lies in the range 1 < Re [s] < 0 .
5. Asymptotes meet on real axis at a point C , given by
C =
/ real part of poles / real parts of zeroes
nm
(0 1 3) ( 2)
=
31

= 1
As no. of poles is 3, so two root loci branches terminates at infinity along
asymptotes Re (s) = 1

Overall gain of the system is written as
G = G1 G 2 1
G3
We know that for a quantity that is product of two or more quantities total
percentage error is some of the percentage error in each quantity. so error in
overall gain G is
3 G = 1 + 2 + 1

From Nyquist stability criteria, no. of closed loop poles in right half of s
-plane is given as
Z = PN
P " No. of open loop poles in right half s -plane
N " No. of encirclement of ( 1, j0)
Here N = 2 (` encirclement is in clockwise direction)

P = 0 (` system is stable)
So, Z = 0 ( 2)
Z = 2 , System is unstable with 2-poles on RH of s -plane.

Given Rouths tabulation.
s3 2 2
s2 4 4
s1 0 0
So the auxiliary equation is given by,
4s 2 + 4 = 0
s2 = 1
s =! j
From table we have characteristic equation as
2s3 + 2s + 4s2 + 4 = 0
s3 + s + 2s2 + 2 = 0
s (s2 + 1) + 2 (s2 + 1) = 0
(s + 2) (s2 + 1) = 0
s = 2 , s = ! j

Since initial slope of the bode plot is 40 dB/decade, so no. of poles at
origin is 2.
Transfer function can be written in following steps:
1. Slope changes from 40 dB/dec. to 60 dB/dec. at 1 = 2 rad/sec., so
at 1 there is a pole in the transfer function.
2. Slope changes from 60 dB/dec to 40 dB/dec at 2 = 5 rad/sec., so
at this frequency there is a zero lying in the system function.
3. The slope changes from 40 dB/dec to 60 dB/dec at 3 = 25 rad/sec,
so there is a pole in the system at this frequency.
Transfer function
K (s + 5)
T (s) =
s (s + 2) (s + 25)
2
Constant term can be obtained as.

T (j) at = 0.1 = 80
K (5)
So, 80 = 20 log
(0.1) 2 # 50
K = 1000
therefore, the transfer function is
1000 (s + 5)
T (s) = 2
s (s + 2) (s + 25)

From the figure we can see that steady state error for given system is
ess = 1 0.75 = 0.25

Taking Laplace transform on both sides of equations.
sX1 (s) = 3X1 (s) + X2 (s) + 2U (s)
(s + 3) X1 (s) = X2 (s) + 2U (s) ...(1)
Similarly sX2 (s) = 2X2 (s) + U (s)

The system is type 0, So, initial slope of the bode plot is 0 dB/decade.
Corner frequencies are
1 = 1 rad/sec
2 = 10 rad/sec
3 = 100 rad/sec
As the initial slope of bode plot is 0 dB/decade and corner frequency 1 = 1

rad/sec, the Slope after = 1 rad/sec or log = 0 is(0 + 20) =+ 20 dB/dec.

After corner frequency 2 = 10 rad/sec or log 2 = 1, the Slope is

Similarly after 3 = 100 rad/sec or log = 2 , the slope of plot is

Gain(dB) calculated from asymptotic plot at = 0.5a is

Error in gain (dB) = 20 log K (20 log K 0.96) dB = 0.96 dB
Similarly exact phase angle at = 0.5a is.

Phase angle calculated from asymptotic plot at ( = 0.5a) is 22.5c
Error in phase angle = 22.5 ( 26.56c) = 4.9c

Given state equation is,
Xo = AX
Taking Laplace transform on both sides of the equation,
sX (s) X (0) = AX (s)
(sI A) X (s) = X (0)
X (s) = (sI A) 1 X (0) = (s) X (0)
Where (t) = L 1 [ (s)] = L 1 [(sI A) 1] is defined as state transition
matrix

State equation of the system is given as,
Xo = >2 3H X + >1H u
0 5 0
2 3 1
Here A = > H, B = > H
0 5 0
Check for controllability:

2 3 1 2
AB = > H> H = > H
0 5 0 0
1 2
U = [B : AB] = > H
0 0
U = (1 # 0 2 # 0) = 0
Matrix U is singular, so the system is uncontrollable.
Check for Stability:
Characteristic equation of the system is obtained as,
sI A = 0
s 0 2 3
(sI A) = > H > H
0 s 0 5
s 2 3
=>
0 s 5H
sI A = (s 2) (s 5) = 0
s = 2, s = 5
There are two R.H.S Poles in the system so it is unstable.

Given open loop transfer function,
no of poles = 2
G (s) = K2 ,
s no of zeroes = 0
For plotting root locus:
(1) Poles lie at s1, s2 = 0
(2) So the root loci starts (K = 0) from s = 0 and s = 0
(3) As there is no open-loop zero, root loci terminates (K = 3) at infinity.
(2q + 1) 180c
, q = 0, 1
nm
So the two asymptotes are at an angle of
(2 # 0 + 1) 180c
(i) = 90c
2
(2 # 1 + 1) 180c
(ii) = 270c

(5) The asymptotes intersect on real axis at a point given by

So the root locus plot is.

System is described as.
d2 y dy
+ = du + 2u
dt2 dt dt
Taking Laplace transform on both sides.
s2 Y (s) + sY (s) = sU (s) + 2U (s)
(s2 + s) Y (s) = (s + 2) U (s)
So, the transfer function is
Y (s) (s + 2)
T.F = = 2
U (s) (s + s)

Here, we have

A = > H, B = > H, C = [4, 0]

We know that transfer function of the system is given by.

Here input is unit impulse so U (s) = 1 and output

Taking inverse Laplace transfer we get output

Input-output relationship is given as

Taking Laplace transform on both sides with zero initial condition.
s 2 Y (s) + 2sY (s) + 10Y (s) = 5sU (s) 3U (s)
(s2 + 2s + 10) Y (s) = (5s 3) U (s)
(5s 3)
Output Y (s) = 2 U (s)
(s + 2s + 10)
With no input and with given initial conditions, output is obtained as
d 2y dy
2 + 2 dt + 10y = 0
dt
Taking Laplace transform (with initial conditions)

[s2 Y (s) sy (0) y' (0)] + 2 [sY (s) y (0)] + 10Y (s) = 0
Given that y' (0) = 4 , y (0) = 1
[s2 Y (s) s ( 4)] + 2 (s 1) + 10Y (s) = 0
Y (s) [s2 + 2s + 10] = (s 2)

Y (s) = 2

Taking Laplace transform on both sides.

Initial slope of the bode plot is 40 dB/dec. So no. of poles at origin is 2.
Then slope increased by 20 dB/dec. at = 2 rad/sec, so one poles lies at
this frequency. At = 5 rad/sec slope changes by + 20 dB/dec, so there is
one zero lying at this frequency. Further slope decrease by 20 dB/dec at
= 25 so one pole of the system is lying at this frequency.
Transfer function
K (s + 5)
H (s) = 2
s (s + 2) (s + 25)
At = 0.1, gain is 54 dB, so
54 = 20 log 5K
(0.1) 2 (2) (25)
K = 50
50 (s + 5)
H (s) =
s (s + 2) (s + 25)
2

Open loop transfer function of the system is
G (s) = 10 4
s (s + 10) 2
G (j) = 10 4 = 10 4
j (j + 10) 2 j (100 2 + j20)
Magnitude G (j) = 10 4
(100 2) 2 + 4002
At = 20 rad/sec
G (j20) = 10 4 = 10 4 =1
20 9 # 10 4 + 16 # 10 4 20 # 5 # 102
Magnitude in dB = 20 log 10 G (j20) = 20 log 10 1 = 0 dB

Since G (j ) = 1 at = 20 rad/sec, So this is the gain cross-over frequency
g = 20 rad/sec
Phase margin PM = 180c + +G (jg)

20 g
+G (jg) = 90c tan 1 =
100 g2 G
PM = 180 90c tan 1 ; 20 # 20 2 E = 36.86c
100 (20)

To calculate the gain margin, first we have to obtain phase cross over
frequency (p).
At phase cross over frequency
+G (jp) = 180c
20p
90c tan 1 =
100 2p G
= 180c
20p
tan 1 =
100 2p G
= 90c
= 0 & p = 10 rad/sec.
100 2p
Gain margin in dB = 20 log 10 e
G (jp) o
1
G (jp) = G (j10) = 10 4
10 (100 100) 2 + 400 (10) 2
= 10 4 =5
10 # 2 # 102
G.M. = 20 log 10 b 1 l = 13.97 dB
5

Since gain margin and phase margin are negative, so the system is unstable.

Given characteristic equation
s3 + s2 + Ks + K = 0
K (s + 1)
1+ 3 =0
s + s2
K (s + 1)
1+ 2 =0
s (s + 2)
so open loop transfer function is
K (s + 1)
G (s) = 2
s (s + 1)
root-locus is obtained in following steps:
1. Root-loci starts(K = 0 ) at s = 0 , s = 0 and s = 2
2. There is one zero at s = 1, so one of root-loci terminates at s = 1
and other two terminates at infinity

3. No. of poles n = 3 , no of zeros ,m = 1

4. Break - Away points

Asymptotes meets on real axis at a point C
