Introduction
• One of the important problems in analysing a
control system is to find all closed-loop poles or
at least those closes to the jω axis (or the
dominant pair of closed-loop poles).
• If the open-loop frequency-response

characteristics of a system are known, it may be
possible to estimate the closed-loop poles closest
to the jω axis.

• For a stable, unity-feedback closed-loop system, the closed-
loop frequency response can be obtained easily from that of
the open loop frequency response.
• Consider the unity-feedback system shown in following figure.

The closed-loop transfer function is
C( s ) G( s )

R( s ) 1  G( s )

• The vector OA represents G(jω1), where ω1 is the frequency at

point A.The length of the vector OA is G( j1, ) .and the angle
is G( j1 ) = Φ
• The vector PA, the vector from -1+j0 point to Nyquist locus
represents 1+G(jω1).
OA = G(jω1 )
OP = 1
PA = OP+OA
PA = 1+G(jω1 )
• Therefore, the ratio of OA, to PA represents the closed loop
frequency response.

• The magnitude of the closed loop transfer
function at ω=ω1 is the ratio of magnitudes of
vector OA to vector PA.
• The phase of the closed loop transfer function at

ω=ω1 is the angle formed by OA to PA (i.e Φ-θ).
• By measuring the magnitude and phase angle at

different frequency points, the closed-loop
frequency-response curve can be obtained.

CONSTANT M &N CIRCLES
• Constant M circle is defined as the family of circles of
magnitude of closed loop transfer function of the system.
• Constant N circle is defined as the family of circles of phase
angle of closed loop transfer function of the system.
• Constant M,N circles are used to find closed loop frequency
response graphically from the open loop response without
calculating the magnitude and phase angle of the closed loop
transfer function.
Advantage:
• It is used to measure frequency domain specification like
resonant peak,reasonant frequency and Bandwidth.

Closed Loop frequency response(M circles)
• Let us define the magnitude of the closed-loop
frequency response as M and the phase angle as α, or
C ( j )
 Me j
R( j )
• From above equation we can find the constant-
magnitude loci and constant-phase-angle loci.
• Such loci are convenient in determining the closed-loop

frequency response from the polar plot or Nyquist plot.

• To obtain the constant-magnitude loci, let us first note that
G(jω) is a complex quantity and can be written as follows:
G( j )  X  jY
Then the closed loop magnitude M is given as
C( s ) G( s )

R( s ) 1  G( s )

circles.
• The centre and radius of the circle for a given value of M can
be easily calculated.

• If M<1 the M circles will lie to the right of M=1 straight line

M circles concentrated around orgin.
