Vast literature on these subjects can be found, for example in refs. The main and the foremost advantage of root locus is to check the system behaviour by adjusting the value of gain k. The axes of symmetry of polezero configuration can be thought as a new complex plane. We have also seen that feedback can change pole locations in the system transfer function and therefore performance is changed. In each case gain k is chosen such that percent overshoot is same. We include a variable gain k in a unityfeedback con. Agashe, department of electrical engineering,iit bombay. Specifying percent overshoot in the continuoustime root locus causes two rays, starting at the root locus origin, to appear.

The figure below shows a unityfeedback architecture, but the procedure is identical for any openloop transfer function, even if some elements of the openloop transfer. Sometimes, proportional control with a carefully chosen value of k is. Compensated poles have more negative real and imaginary parts.
Root locus diagram technique is used for finding the roots of characteristic equation. Because the open loop poles and zeros exist in the sdomain having the values either as real or as complex conjugate pairs. Root locus starts from open loop polek0 to open loop zerokinfinity. Number of asymptotes of a root locus is equal to the difference between the number of poles and zeros of the openloop transfer function. Root locus design is a common control system design technique in which you edit the compensator gain, poles, and zeros in the root locus diagram. Evans root locus method evans 1948 developed a method for plotting the variation of the roots of a polynomial equation as the value of a coefficient changes. In the discretetime case, the constraint is a curved line. The root locus method is a fantastic way of visualizing how the poles of a system move through the splane when a single system parameter is varied from 0 to infinity.
