The expression: 1− G(s)H(s) = 0 is known as the characteristic equation and contains important information regarding the system’s stability. Generally speaking, the roots of the equation are of the type s = α ± jω . When α = 0 the system is marginally stable and s = ± jω . If certain conditions are met, this situation will describe an oscillator in the steady state delivering a constant-amplitude sine wave of radian frequency ω.
