Root Locus for 2 Real Poles, 2 Complex Conjugate Poles and 1 Real Zero
Cuthbert Nyack
Applet shows the root locus of a system with 2 real poles, 2 cc poles
and 1 zero. It has the asymptotic characteristics of a third order system with asymptotes at ±60° and -180°.
Parameters (0.0, 1.0, 0.5, 2.5, 1.5, 3.0, 2.0) has 2 real poles
at -0.5, -1.0, 2 cc poles at -1.5 ± j3.0 and 1 real zero
at -2.5 and is stable for K < 23.8(obtained by
increasing K to 23.8).
Parameters (0.0, 0.7, 0.3, 2.0, 2.0, 2.5, 2.0) has 2 real poles
at -0.3, -0.7, 2 cc poles at -2.0 ± j2.5 and 1 real zero
at -2.0 and is stable for K > 25.2(obtained by
increasing K to 25.2).
Parameters (0.0, -0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 1.5, 3.0, 2.0) has 2 real poles
at +0.5, -1.0, 2 cc poles at -1.5 ± j3.0 and 1 real zero
at -2.0 and is stable for K > 2.8 and K < 21.2(obtained by
increasing K to 21.2).
