Nyquist Plot
| Description How it works |
This tool will generate the Nyquist Plot for a transfer function of the form (a + bs) e-ts / (g + hs). In process control, Nyquist plots are used for analyzing the stability of controllers. Download.xls file (55 KB) or .zip file (7 KB) How to useThe use of this tool is quite straightforward, simply key in the values of a, b, g, h and t into the cells B6 through B10. Key in the frequency range into the cells B13 and B14. Note that the units of frequency is rad/time. The Nyquist plot is generated. Lets say we wish to obtain the Nyquist plot of e-4s/(1 + 2s), from 0.01 rad/s to 100 rad/s. We have a = 1, b = 0, g =1, h = 2 and t = 4. Key in these values and the range, the Nyquist plot is shown below.
