Root-Locus Method
Root Locus Angle and Gain Rules
Description
Root locus angle and gain rules help analyze higher-order control systems. The method works without factoring the denominator of the transfer function. It is especially useful for unity feedback systems, where the transfer function can be studied by tracking how poles and zeros shape the response.

The root locus method helps analyze higher-order systems without requiring the factorization of the denominator of the transfer function.
A pole is identified when the characteristic polynomial in the transfer function's denominator equals zero.
The criteria for a point to be on the root locus are that the total angle contribution ...
