In the context of Bode magnitude plots, 40 dB/decade is the same as ______.
The open loop transfer function of a unity negative feedback system is $$G(s) = {k \over {s(1 + s{T_1})(1 + s{T_2})}}$$, where $$k,T_1$$ and $$T_2$$ are positive constants. The phase cross-over frequency, in rad/s, is
Consider a closed-loop control system with unity negative feedback and KG(s) in the forward path, where the gain K = 2. The complete Nyquist plot of the transfer function G(s) is shown in the figure. Note that the Nyquist contour has been chosen to have the clockwise sense. Assume G(s) has no poles on the closed right-half of the complex plane. The number of poles of the closed-loop transfer function in the closed right-half of the complex plane is ___________.
