The Nyquist stability criterion and the Routh criterion both are powerful analysis tools for
determining the stability of feedback controllers. Identify which of the following statements
is FALSE.
A
The closed-loop frequency response for a unity feedback system cannot be obtained
from the Nyquist plot.
B
The Routh criterion is not applicable in the condition of transport lag, which can be
readily handled by the Nyquist criterion.
C
The general shape of the Nyquist plot is readily obtained from the Bode magnitude plot
for all minimum-phase systems.
D
Both the criteria provide information relative to the stable gain range of the system.
