    The Nyquist Stability Criteria provides a test for system stability like the Routh-Hurwitz test and root locus method. However, Nyquist can also give information about frequency characteristics and phase of input signals. Nyquist involves analyzing where the contour of the transfer function F(s) encircles the critical point (-1,0) in the complex plane compared to the number of poles P of F(s). If P is zero, the contour cannot encircle (-1,0), and if P is not zero, the contour must encircle (-1,0) the same number of times as P for the system to be stable.

    Nyquist Stability Criteria

    The Nyquist Stability Criteria is a test for system stability, just like the Routh-Hurwitz test,
    or the Root-Locus Methodology. However, the Nyquist Criteria can also give us additional
    information about a system. Routh- Hurwitz and Root-Locus can tell us where the poles of
    the system are for particular values of gain. By altering the gain of the system, we can
    determine if any of the poles move into the RHP, and therefore become unstable. The
    Nyquist Criteria, however, can tell us things about the frequency characteristics of the
    system. For instance, some systems with constant gain might be stable for low-frequency
    inputs, but become unstable for high-frequency inputs.
    Also, the Nyquist Criteria can tell us things about the phase of the input
    signals, the time-shift of the system, and other important information.
    Nyquist Criteria

    Let us first introduce the most important equation when dealing with the Nyquist criterion:
    Where:
    N=Z-P
    N is the number of encirclements of the (-1, 0) point.
    Z is the number of zeros of the characteristic equation.
    P is the number of poles of the characteristic equation.
    With this equation stated, we can now state the Nyquist Stability Criterion:
    A feedback control system is stable, if and only if the contour F(s) in the F(s) plane
    does not encircle the (-1, 0) point when P is 0.

    A feedback control system is stable, if and only if the contour F(s) in the F(s) plane encircles
    the (-1, 0) point a number of times equal to the number of poles of F(s) enclosed by .

    In other words, if P is zero then N must equal zero. Otherwise, N must equal P. Essentially,
    we are saying that Z must always equal zero, because Z is the number of zeros of the
    characteristic equation (and therefore the number of poles of the closed-loop transfer
    function) that are in the right-half of the s plane. Keep in mind that we don't necessarily know
    the locations of all the zeros of the characteristic equation. So if we find, using the nyquist
    criterion, that the number of poles is not equal to N, then we know that there must be a zero
    in the right-half plane, and that therefore the system is unstable.
