Also, comment on the system stability if the gain (alone) of the system changes significantly.

Well what have you learned about this so far?
What do you know about the gain and phase relationship for stability?

Actually though you are supposed to show your first attempt to solve this in the Homework section.

 

In your case (three zero crossings for the phase function) you have to apply the FULL Nyquist criterion.
(Result: Stable).

Hi,
Thanks for your reply !

My understanding this Gain and phase plot is as per below.

PHASE MARGIN : At corner frequency f3 Gain plot crosses the 0db line and let us assume the PM positive i.e.45deg so the stable.
Gain MARGIN : At corner frequency f1 phase plot crosses 0db line and GM is negative so it leads instability
At corner frequency f2 phase plot crosses 0db line and GM is negative so it leads instability
At corner frequency f4 phase plot crosses 0db line and GM is positive so it leads stability

So the overall system is unstable as GM is changing insignificantly.

I do hope some more comments on this particular system stability.

 

Hi Guys,

I am still waiting for some one to respond this topic.

No, your conclusion is not correct. The concepts of phase and gain margins cannot be applied because the loop gain exhibits three crossings of the zero deg line. As I have written in my answer#3 you have to apply the FULL Nyquist criterion.

Hello,

Thanks for reply !
Could you please explain about at some extent ?
The reason for saying stable system as i see using bode diagram it is unstable system.
Thanks in advance !

This plot is something different as phase plot crosses 0deg line not -180deg line.

There is not much to explain.
* In general, the stability of a system with feedback can be checked using the Nyquist criterion (complex s-plane).
* In some cases, however, a simplified form of this criterion may be used. This simplification leads to the concept of gain and phase margin. This simplified form may be used for phase functions only which cross the 0-deg. line once (see the example in your last post).
* You must not be confused because of the -180deg. Sometimes the minus sign at the summing junction is included in the definition for the loop gain - and sometimes it is not. That`s all!
