WHAT is the Nyquist criterion?


WHY does matter aur WHY encirclements?

Why

Characteristic equation hai , yaani . Toh ek closed-loop pole wahan hota hai jahan open-loop ka value hota hai. Yeh study karna ki kaise behave karta hai ke relative wahi hai jaisa ko ke relative study karna.

Why encirclements — the Argument Principle (derive it)

Ab set karo aur ko Nyquist contour banaao — poora imaginary axis jo RHP mein ek infinite semicircle se closed hota hai (clockwise). Yeh contour poore RHP ko enclose karta hai.

  • ke enclosed zeros (unstable closed-loop poles — jo hum count karna chahte hain).
  • ke enclosed poles = RHP mein ke poles .
  • Origin ke around ke clockwise encirclements .

Lekin ka encircle karna ke encircle karne ke identical hai (bas 1 left shift karo). Isliye:

Yahi poora criterion hai — seedha angle changes count karne se nikal aata hai.

HOW to read a Nyquist plot (procedure)

  1. ko ke liye sketch karo.
  2. ke liye reflect karo (real axis ke baare mein mirror image, kyunki ).
  3. Contour close karo (big semicircle ka map — usually strictly proper ke liye origin par shrink ho jaata hai).
  4. ke net clockwise encirclements count karo.
  5. ke poles se find karo.
  6. compute karo. Stable iff .

Recall Feynman: ek 12-saal ke bachche ko explain karo

Socho tum ek canyon mein chilla rahe ho. Agar echo wapas kamzor aati hai, awaaz mar jaati hai — safe. Lekin agar echo bilkul utni hi tej aur usi direction mein wapas aati hai jis direction mein tumne push kiya tha, toh woh stack up hoti hai aur louder aur louder hoti jaati hai — yahi instability hai. Nyquist plot ek treasure-map hai isi baat ka ki echo tumhari awaaz ki har pitch par kaise behave karti hai. Map par ek "danger X" hai jise kehte hain. Hum poore map ka edge walk karte hain aur count karte hain ki khinchi hui line us X ke around kitni baar loop karti hai, aur kis direction mein spin karti hai. Woh count humein batata hai ki echo explode karegi ya nahi — aur humein actually ise phatte hue sunna nahi pada.

Nyquist: hum encirclements kis point ke count karte hain?
Point ke.
Nyquist count formula?
, jisme =RHP closed-loop poles, =CW encirclements of , =RHP open-loop poles.
special kyun hai?
Characteristic eq ; closed-loop poles wahan hote hain jahan open-loop equals .
Nyquist kaunsa theorem deta hai?
Cauchy's argument principle: closed contour ki image, origin ke around baar wind karti hai.
terms mein stability condition?
taaki .
Agar aur plot encircle nahi karta, stable?
Haan: .
Unstable plant ko kya chahiye?

ki jagah kyun plot karte hain?
around equals around ; hum plot karte hain, isliye critical point shift hokar ho jaata hai.
-axis par pole kaise handle karein?
Contour ko right ki taraf ek small semicircle se indent karo (pole ko RHP ke bahar rakho).
ka ek CW encirclement kya signify karta hai (P=0)?
Ek closed-loop pole RHP mein cross ho gaya → instability.
