  7. Which of the following features is not associated with Nichols chart?

  8. A.

     (0 dB, -180°) point on Nichols chart represent critical Point (-1, 0)

    B.

     It is symmetric about -180°

    C.

     M loci are centred about (0 dB, -180°) point

    D.

     The frequency at intersection of G(j?) locus and M = +3 dB locus gives bandwidth of closed loop system
