Gain Margin
The step responses for a second order open-loop system with four
different values of K:
Gain Margin
Gain margin, GM:
The gain margin is the change in open-loop gain,
expressed in decibels (dB), required at -180◦ of phase
shift to make the closed-loop system unstable.
Gain Margin
where ωcp stand for, the phase crossover
frequency,
Phase Crossover: A phase-crossover on
the HG(jω) plot is a point at which the
plot intersects the negative real axis.
Phase Margin
• The gain margin is only a one-dimensional representation of
the relative stability of a closed-loop system.
• Unfortunately, gain margin alone is inadequate to indicate
relative stability when system parameters other than the loop
gain are subject to variation.
Phase Margin
Phase margin, ΦM:
The phase margin is the change in open-loop phase
shift, required at unity gain to make the closed-loop
system unstable.
