The number of times the Nyquist plot of
G(s)=s−1s+1
will encircle the origin clockwise is
G(s)=s−1s+1G(jω)=jω−1jω+1
=1∠180o−2tan−1ω
on varying ω=0+→ +∞
Now on varying ω=0−→ −∞
G(jω)|ω=0=1∠180o
G(jω)|ω=0−=1∠180o
G(jω)|ω=1=1∠90o
G(jω)|ω=−1=1∠270o
G(jω)|ω=∞=1∠0o
G(jω)|ω=−∞=1∠360o
On plotting,
∴No.of times the Nyquist plot encircle the origin clockwise = 1.
