A single-input single-output feedback system has forward transfer function G(s) and feedback transfer function H(s). It is given that |G(s)H(s)| < 1. Which of the following is true about the stability of the system? Correct Answer The system is stable if all poles of G(s)H(s) are in left half of the s-plane

Concept:

D(s) = 1 + G(s)H(s)

D(s) gives the roots of characteristic equation i.e. closed-loop poles.

Nyquist stability criteria state that the number of unstable closed-loop poles is equal to the number of unstable open-loop poles plus the number of encirclements of the origin of the Nyquist plot of the complex function D(s).

It can be slightly simplified if instead of plotting the function D(s) = 1 + G(s)H(s), we plot only the function G(s)H(s) around the point and count encirclement of the Nyquist plot of around the point (-1, j0).

From the principal of argument theorem, the number of encirclements about (-1, j0) is

N = P - Z

Where

Where P = Number of open-loop poles on the right half of s plane

Z = Number of closed-loop poles on the right half of s plane

Calculation:

For the given system, we have |G(s)H(s)| < 1

So, we may easily conclude that the Nyquist-plot intersect the negative real axis between 0 and -1 point, i.e. the Nyquist plot does not enclose the point (-1, 0) or in other words number of encirclements is zero.

⇒ N = 0

For a stable closed loop system, we must have Z = 0.

To get Z = 0, from the Nyquist criteria, P must be equal to zero.

Therefore, the system is stable if all poles of G(s)H(s) are in left half of the s-plane.

Public opinion may be passive and false or active and real. It is claimed in theory that all governments are ultimately based on the opinion or sanction of the governed. But we find that in practice the people's rights are often trodden down and tyranny and oppression are allowed to continue. The government does it not because the people want it to do so but because they are too idle, too uneducated and too disunited or timid to oppose the govern ment. Such public opinion is passive and false and not an active verdict. But when we find people alert, intelligent and determined to let the government know their will, when they want to exercise actively their voice in the management of their country, we have an instance of true or active public opinion. True public opinion is formed by and expressed through the press, the platform, political parties and educational institutions. These have sacred duties to perform, duties on which depends the ultimate good of the entire community. The press today wields a tremendous influence, So it should support the causes and move ments and condemn the wrong one's and thus teach people to form correct opinion. A free and fair press ventilates the grievances of the public. Thus a healthy relationship develops between the people and the government through out an unbiased press. Political parties also help to create and regulate opinions. No less important part is played by the educational Institutions which train the minds of the young people who will be the citizens of tomorrow. It has been said that modern Germany and China have been made by their universities. It is necessary that the young and the growing minds should imbibe the spirit of fellow-feeling, the spirit of tolerance, the habit of compromise, and show due regard for the feelings and opinion of others without which a democratic society cannot function, let alone succeed. When there is true awakening of the people, we shall have the real and conscious public opinion. And justice will reign on earth and truly will the voice of the people be the voice of God.
