Loop Stability

• Key elements to test closed loop stability

  • Gain margin = Difference of gain and unity gain where phase is 180 degrees
    • 10 dB
      
  • Phase margin = Difference of phase and 180 degrees where gain is unity
    • 60 degrees
      
  • Loop bandwidth = Frequency when loop gain drops to unity
