MODULE 5
INTERPRETATION/ANALYSIS
The module is all about Stability and Frequency Response. For the first part, the overall
transfer function of the given systems must be determined. Then we need to show each
system's step responses and pole-zero maps, shown in Figures 5.1.b, 5.1.c, 5.2.b,5.2.c, 5.3.b.,
and 5.3.c respectively; using the ltiview command and pzmap command. Then we had to
determine which system is stable, unstable, or marginally stable from the given three systems.
Based on the collected data, the first system is stable for any system that appears on the
imaginary axis' left half plane. System 2 is unstable to any system on the right side of the
imaginary axis for poles. Finally, system 3 is marginally stable for any system's poles lying
directly on the imaginary axis and in the left half plane.

The second part of the module determines the nyquist plot given in the first part of the
given transfer function systems. After having the system's nyquist plot shown in figures 5.4.a,
5.4.b, and 5.4.c, we were asked about system stability, number of open loop poles, number of
counterclockwise revolutions, and number of closed loop poles.

The third part of the module, as shown in Figure 5.5.b, determines the bode plot of the
given system. The bode plot, also the phase margin, was used to measure the gain margin and
the magnitude gain. Using the margin command, we were able to determine the same transfer
function system's gain margin, phase margin, gain margin frequency, and phase margin
frequency. After increasing the gain by multiplying it to the gain margin, we determined the
bode plot, gain margin, phase margin, gain margin frequency, and the phase margin frequency
of the gain.

Finally, we found the range gain of the unknown in the transfer function system in the
seatwork. We have also determined where stable, unstable and marginally stable the system
will be. We showed the step-response, pzmap, nyquist plot, and bode plot using the margin
command after determining the unknown, using the system at marginally stable response.
 CONCLUSION
By looking at the pole location, a system's stability can be classified into stable, unstable,
and marginally stable. It is known that the poles on the left are stable; on the right are unstable;
and while the poles on the imaginary axis are directly lying, they are known to be marginally
stable. Another way is to look at the plot of nyquist. It is unstable when the poles are larger
than' Z,' but if it is stable less than or equal to' Z' and can be considered marginally stable
depending on the pole position.

Nyquist Diagram is the polar plot that implies frequency and is represented on the polar
curve by each point. Separate magnitude and phase diagrams are sometimes referred to as
Bode Plots. It presents the data explicitly listed along the abscissa with the frequency.

Gain margin is the amount the system can increase the gain before instability occurs
when the phase angle at 180 ° is constant. Phase margin is the amount that can be changed
before instability occurs by the angle of the phase if the gain is held in unity.

The command used for this module was bode), (bode plot, ltiview), (step-response,
pzmap), (pole-zero map, nyquist), (nyquist plot, and margin command to determine the gain
margin, phase margin, gain margin frequency, and phase-margin frequency of the transfer
function system.
