6.1 OBJECTIVE: To plot root locus diagram of an open loop transfer function and
determine range of gain ‘K’ for stability.
6.3 THEORY: Rlocus computes the Evans root locus of a SISO open-loop model. The root
locus gives the closed-loop pole trajectories as a function of the feedback gain k (assuming
negative feedback). Root loci are used to study the effects of varying feedback gains on closed-
loop pole locations.
In turn, these locations provide indirect information on the time and frequency responses.
Rlocus (Sys) calculates and plots the root locus of the open-loop SISO model sys. This function
can be applied to any of the following feedback loops by setting sys appropriately.
If sys has transfer function
h(s) = n(s)/ d (s)
The closed-loop poles are the roots of
d(s) + k*n(s)=0
