Purpose Superimpose a Nichols chart on a Nichols plot
Syntax ngrid
Description ngrid superimposes Nichols chart grid lines over the Nichols frequency
response of a SISO LTI system. The range of the Nichols grid lines is set to
encompass the entire Nichols frequency response.
The chart relates the complex number to , where is any
complex number. For SISO systems, when is a point on the open-loop
frequency response, then
is the correspondingvalue of the closed-loopfrequencyresponse assuming unit
negative feedback.
If the current axis is empty,
ngrid generates a new Nichols chart grid in the
region –40 dB to 40 dB in magnitude and –360 degrees to 0 degrees in phase.
If the current axis does not contain a SISO Nichols frequency response,
ngrid
returns a warning.
Example Plot the Nichols response with Nichols grid lines for the system.
