>> tf138=tf([2], [6 11 6 1])
Transfer function:
2
———————
6 s∧3 + 11 s∧2 + 6 s +1

Next, find the margins associated with this open-loop transfer function:

>> [gm pm wcg wcp]=margin(tf138)

which leads to the following results:

k_{g}  = 5.0 (14 dB) ,

\gamma  = 74.6^{◦}  ,

\omega_{cg}  = 1.0 ,

\omega_{cp}  = 0.373 .

To better interpret these results, consider the Bode plot that is generated by the alternative call of margin, Fig. 13.12.
