 4If you equate the characteristic polynomial to 
zero, you can get the system poles 
 5A value of s will be a closed loop pole if 
 6The next question is for what K this will happen

 10- Some useful concepts 
 - Number of branches The number of branches of the 
root locus equals the number of closed-loop poles  - Symmetry The root locus is symmetrical about the 
real axis. This comes from the fact that there 
can not exist characteristic polynomials with 
complex coefficients. Therefore, the complex 
poles should exist in conjugate pairs. 
  11Some useful concepts 3. Real-axis segments On 
the real axis, for K gt 0, the root locus exists 
to the left of an odd number of real axis, finite 
open-loop poles and/or finite open-loop zeros. 
 124. Starting and ending points
For small gains,
For small gains, the closed loop poles approach 
the combined poles of G(s) and H(s) 
 134. Starting and ending points The root locus 
starts at the poles of G(s)H(s), the open loop 
transfer function.
At high gains,
At high gains, the root locus approaches the 
roots of G(s)H(s) 
 144. Starting and ending points The root locus 
starts at the poles of G(s)H(s), the open loop 
transfer function. The root locus starts at the 
poles of G(s)H(s) and ends at the zeros of 
G(s)H(s)

 165. Behavior at infinity
Therefore, when s goes to infinity, KG(s)H(s) 
goes to zero. That means, it has three zeros at 
infinity. 
 175. Behavior at infinity The root locus 
approaches straight lines as asymptotes as the 
locus approaches infinity. Further, the equation 
of the asymptotes is given by the real-axis 
intercept, , and angle as follows

poles of G(s)H(s)

using different lag compensators 
 43If the transient response has to be improved, one 
option is to change the gain till the closed loop 
poles move to the desired point. If the root 
locus does not go through the required point, the 
root locus has to be re-shaped by adding poles or 
zeros so that the new (compensated) root locus 
goes through the desired point

 46Since the damping ratio is the same, the 
percentage overshoot will be the same.

16 overshoot with a threefold reduction in the 
settling time.

 50The second order assumption is valid since the 
real part of the dominant poles is less than 1/5 
of the rest of the poles
