GainPhaseMargins

GainPhaseMargins[sys]
gives the gain and phase margins of the linear time-invariant system sys.
MORE INFORMATION
  • GainPhaseMargins returns an expression of the form , where the are the phase crossover frequencies, the are the gain margins, the are the gain crossover frequencies, and the are the phase margins.
  • The frequencies and are in radians per time unit, the gain margins are the absolute values, and the phase margins are in radians.
  • The following options can be given:
FeedbackType"Negative"the feedback type
MethodAutomaticmethod to use
SamplingPeriodNonethe sampling period
  • Explicit settings for the Method option include and . In each case the methods of Solve or NSolve can be specified as suboptions. The default setting of Automatic switches between these methods depending on whether sys is exact or inexact.
