SUMMARY

Constructing a Nyquist plot from a polar plot is feasible when the system has no poles or zeros on the Nyquist path. In such cases, the Nyquist diagram is equivalent to the polar plot of the open-loop transfer function, including its complex conjugate. This method allows for a straightforward visualization of system stability and frequency response.

Yes, for a system with no poles or zeros on the Nyquist path, the Nyquist diagram is simply the polar plot of the open-loop function along with its complex conjugate.
