This document provides an overview of root locus analysis of linear time-invariant (LTI) dynamic systems. It discusses root locus plots for transfer functions, state-space models, and zero-pole-gain models of various order systems. Examples are presented for first and second order systems. Exercises are included to analyze and design higher order systems using root locus and to find closed loop pole locations for specified damping ratios and natural frequencies. Gain values are determined to produce marginal stability or sustained oscillations at a given frequency.
