Root-Locus Method
Root Locus Paths and Asymptotes
Description
Root locus paths and asymptotes show how closed-loop poles move as gain changes. This method helps students track system stability by following the pole locations on a graph. It also shows where the poles start, where they may end, and how they travel in between.

Transcript
The root locus construction involves determining the number of branches that equals the number of closed-loop poles. The root locus is symmetrical about the real axis.
The root locus exists on the part of the real axis where the sum of the total number of finite open-loop poles and zeros on the left is odd.
