RL is a plot of the closed loop poles as some parameters of the system is varied.
7.1 Root Locus Principle
We generally consider a system as in the following figure
The CE of this system is
1+KG(s)H(s)=0 (1)A value s1 is a point in the RL if and only if satisfies (1) for real 0<K<.
For this system we call KG(s)H(s) the open loop function (OLF)
Equation (1) can be written as
K= –1/G(s)H(s) (2)
Since G(s) and H(s) are generally complex and K is real then there are 2 condition must be met
|G(s)H(s)|=1/|K| and (3)
G(s)H(s) = r, r = ±1, ±3, ±5 … (4)
We call (3) the magnitude criterion of the RL, and (4) the angle criterion.
Any value s on the RL must meet both criterions.

For 2nd order system the RL appears as a family of 2 paths or branches traced out by 2 roots of CE.

Suppose that s1on the RL. Thus the angle condition becomes
1 – 2 – 3= ±
The locus of all points meet this condition forms the complete RL of the system
From the preceding discussion, it is seen that the condition of a point to be on the RL is that
(all zero angles) – (all pole angles) = r
where zero angle is the angle of s – zk and pole angle is the angle of s – pk . zk and pk are zero and pole of the OLF
Calculating and plotting RL digitally is available and it is a convenient way to do it.
However a good knowledge of the rule for plotting the RL will offer insight effect of changing parameter and adding poles and/or zeros in the design process.
From mason gain formula, the CE is
(s) = 1 + F(s) = 0
where F(s) is the OLF.
Many design procedures are based on the OLF.
7.2 Root Locus RulesSince the TF is real function then its complex roots must exist in conjugate pairs, then RL is symmetrical with respect to the real axis
Rule 1.RL is symmetrical with respect to the real axis
With the zk and pk are zeros and poles of the OLF. The CE may be expressed as
))(())((1)()(1
21
11
pspszszsKbsHsKG m
0))(())(( 1121 zszsKbpsps m
Therefore for K = 0 the roots of CE are simply the poles of OLF RL start at the poles of G(s)H(s).
It is always that the number of zeros, NZ,, equals the number of poles, NP.
If the number of finite zeros < NP then the rest of zeros lies at infinity. If K but s remain finite then the branches of RL must approach the zeros of the OLF, else there must be zeros at infinity. This mean that RL finish at zeros of G(s)H(s).
Rule 2.RL originates on the poles of G(s)H(s) for K=0 and terminates on the zeros of G(s)H(s) as K, including zeros at infinity.
When there are zeros at infinity then the RL will extend to infinity as well. The asymptotes can be determined. If there is zeros at infinity then the OLF can be written as

Consider point a to the right of p1. The angle condition states that if a is on the RL then
(all zero angles) – (all pole angles) = r.
Since this not the case then any points on the real axis to the right of p1 are not on the RL.By the same argumentations we conclude that the points between p1 and p2 are on the RL, the points between p2 and z1 are not on the RL,the points to the left of z1 are on the RL.Rule 4The RL includes all points to the left of an odd number of real critical frequencies (poles and zeros)

7.3 Additional Techniques
Multiple roots on the real axis.
If CE has multiple roots a on the real axis then we can write the characteristic polynomial as 1+KG(s)H(s) =(s-a)kQ(s) (1)Differentiating (1) with respect to s gives
For s =a it must be
)(')()()( 1 sQassQask kk
0)()()()( sHsGdsdsHsKG
dsd
(2)
Hence the multiple roots a can be found by solving (2).
Since G(s)H(s) is rational we can represent G(s)H(s)= N(s)/D(s)
And (2) can be written as
N(s)D’(s)- N’(s)D(s)=0 (3)
The multiple points are breakaway points, they are points at which branches of RL leave or enter the real axis.
Rule 5.The breakaway points on RL will appear among the roots of polynomial obtained either from (2) or (3).
Since on the RL
K = –1/ G(s)H(s) = – D(s)/N(s)
we conclude that
K’= N(s)D’(s)- N’(s)D(s)=0
Hence at breakaway points K is either maximum or minimum.

We are interested in finding the angle 1 when is very small. This is the angle of departure.From angle criterion we know that

For very small , 2=900, hence
1= 1800 – 900 – 3

For large Ka (= 40) model of order 4 is required.Six rules for RL construction have been developed many additional rule are available for accurate RL graph, however we should use digital computer to draw accurate RL.

7.4 Additional RL properties
The CE can be written as
D(s) + KN(s) =0
For a given K1 we have
D(s) + K1 N(s) =0
Suppose that K is increased by K2 from K1
then the CE becomes
D(s) + (K1 + K2)N(s) =0
which can be expressed as
0)()(1
)()()(1

With respect to K2 the locus appears to originate on roots as placed by letting K = K1
but still terminates on the original zeros. -1-2
Example suppose we have OLF
The CE can be written as s2 + K(s+1)=0For K =K1=2, we have s2+2s+2=(s+1)2+1=0 With roots s = 1±j.Thus the RL of OLF
is the same with RL of (1) but start from 1±j.

7.4 Additional RL properties
The CE can be written as
1+ KG(s)H(s) =0 (1)
Consider replacing s with s1
1+ KG(s-s1)H(s-s1) =0 (2)
then for K0, (s-s1) = s0 satisfied (2).
This is the efect of shifting all poles and zeros of the OLF by a constant amount s1.

The last property is that a RL has symmetry at breakaway points. Suppose 4 branches come together at a common breakaway point, the the angle between 4 branches will be 3600/4=900.
7.5 Other Configuration
So far we plot RL of CE
1+ KG(s)H(s) =0 (1)
by varying K from 0 to .
Other system configuration should be converted to this form first.
As an example let us vary from 0 to for the following CE

Now (3) is the same form as (1) with K= and G(s)H(s) = s/(s2+5)
In general the procedure is as follows1. Write the CE in a polynomial of s2. Grouped the terms that are multiplied by
and that are not, that is we express
Dc(s) + Nc(s)=0
