Exercise 1:

Find the gain margin and the180o frequency for the problem below if K=100.
EET302

Solution 1:
  To calculate the gain margin, we need to find the frequency at which the Nyquist diagram of
G(jw) crosses the negative real axis. 
   Substituting s=jw inG(s), we get:

  Since the  frequency is the frequency at which the Nyquist diagram crosses the negative

real axis,  can be found by setting the imaginary part of  equal to zero:

  Therefore, , as derived in problem SA10.04.

  Next, we find the magnitude of  at . Since the imaginary part of

 is , we have (from 3):

  Thus, the gain can be increased by  before the frequency response equals
. Hence, the gain margin is:
