In this video I explain gain and phase margins. If you are confused by this topic I hope this video will help tie all of the concepts together that go into understanding what gain and phase margins are and why they’re important.

Errata:
Nothing I know of yet! Let me know if you find anything and I’ll add it here.

  1. First of all thanks Brian.

    I am at a exercise where the closed-loop system is labeled as unstable since the phase-margin is negative. But in my understanding, as long as the phase-margin-frequency is (~far) away from gain-margin-frequency, the openlooptransferfunction is not getting -1 and the closed loop should be (asymptotic) stable.

    Where am I wrong?

    Thanks for your answers in advance

  2. it definitely helped to clear things up a bit! Though i hoped to find analytical examples in calculating this. Because we can't use matlab on exams 🙁

  3. If I want to increase my phase margin to lets say 60 degrees using a proportional controller and I have a bode plot of the system, how do I find what value of K to use in order to affect this change

  4. Everytime I search a topic in my controls class on YouTube i cross my fingers and hope there’s a Brian Douglas video lmao

  5. What is the phase margin of the system if the plot starts from -180 degrees and goes down from there to -200 … -300 and so on?? Here the 0 dB point is at -225 degrees!!!!

  6. I think my prof is great, he knows almost all about control Engineering. But he has no clue how to teach at all.
    Thanks for the video!
