Does this analysis of the system in terms of Nyquist makes sense?
I have the following system where \$K,K_t\$ are both positive.
I find the Open Loop Transfer Function (OLTF), which is:
$$L\left(s\right)=\frac{K_{t}s+K}{s^{2}\left(s+2\right)}$$
Now to start the ...

What is the difference between loop transfer functions and closed-loop transfer functions for the Nyquist plot?
We learned in lecture that we do the Nyquist plot for the Loop transfer function (which we denote \$L(s)\$) and not the closed loop transfer function (which we denote \$G_{cl} (s)\$) which is simple ...

Using the nyquist criteria on G(s)=-s does not work
Let \$G(s)=-s\$ then \$1+G(s)=1-s=0\iff s=1\$ so in a feedback loop the system will be unstable. But \$G(iw)=-iw\$ so the nyquist curve goes fron s=0 then down the imaginary axis thus N=0. Further \$P=...
