A Nyquist plot is a type of graph used in signal processing in which the real and imaginary components of a frequency response are plotted on orthogonal axes. This plot combines the two types of Bode plot - magnitude and phase - on a single graph, with frequency as a parameter along the curve. It is useful for assessing the stability of a system with feedback.
