CollegeExplain it at college levelState the model precisely

This calculator evaluates the stated control-system gain margin factor: solve current open-loop gain scale relation over the valid real-number domain stated below. The implemented relation is b=a/c, evaluated from gain margin factor, gain at instability threshold to produce current open-loop gain scale. Gain margin compares the multiplicative gain at the stability boundary with the current loop-gain scale. This page isolates current open-loop gain scale and verifies it in the original relationship. Use values evaluated at the phase-crossover condition and state whether the result is linear or decibel scale.

Inputs and valid domain

  • gain margin factor must be a finite real number.
  • gain at instability threshold must be a finite real number.

Important boundary: Use values evaluated at the phase-crossover condition and state whether the result is linear or decibel scale.

The formula

How the calculator works through it

It substitutes gain margin factor, gain at instability threshold into the formula and exposes every numerical step above. The main output is current open-loop gain scale, accompanied by Reconstructed gain margin factor.

Read the result correctly

The current open-loop gain scale is the direct answer to “rearrange the control-system gain margin factor relationship and solve for current open-loop gain scale.” Read it with the units shown beside the inputs; a sign, angle, percentage or rate changes what the number means.

A worked check

gain at instability threshold=12 and current open-loop gain scale=3 produce gain margin factor=4.

Where this model stops being reliable

Use values evaluated at the phase-crossover condition and state whether the result is linear or decibel scale.

Learn it by changing one value

Begin with the worked example, then change one value while keeping the others fixed. Compare the new result and calculation steps to identify which part of the formula changed.
