From the Bode plot,
• Gain cross over frequency ꙍgc= 1 rad/sec
• Phase cross over frequency ꙍpc= 3.2 rad/sec
We need a GM of 10 dB
This corresponds to a horizontal line at -10 dB.
At ꙍpc = 3.2 rad/sec, draw a vertical line that cuts magnitude plot at
point A (where gain is +20dB) and cuts -10dB line at point B
To achieve required GM of +10dB, the magnitude plot should be lifted
up by 10 dB
Or Point A should be on point B
20 log K= 10
K = 3.16
b) Value of K for PM of 50 degrees
We need a PM of 50 degrees
This corresponds to a horizontal line at -130 degrees that cuts phase
plot at point C
