Aim: To study stability analysis using Root locus (Analytical and Matlab) Theory: Root Locus Technique is used

to find out the response of a Time domain system. System Response is used to analyze the system performance.

Root Locus: When system gain is varied between - to +, its closed loop poles (roots of characteristic equation) changes. So if we plot the locus of the roots by changing system gain is called Root Locus.

Steps to Plot Root Locus 1. Identify No. of Poles, No. of Zeros and their location on s-plane for a given Transfer Function 2. Find the total no. of Root Locus branches(N=P if no. of P > no. of Z or N=Z if no. of Z > no. of P), no. of branches approaching to infinity (P-Z)---if no. of P > no. of Z or no. of approaching from infinity (Z-P)---(if no. of Z > no. of P 3. Draw Pole-Zero plot on s-plane 4. Identify the Real axis which is a part of Root Locus 5. Find the angle of asymptotes 6. Find Centroid 7. Check whether Break away point exists or not. Find Break away point if exist 8. Find the inter section of Root Locus with Imaginary axis 9. Find Angle of Departure (only if complex Poles present) and Angle of Arrival (only if complex Zeros present) 10. Comment on Stability
