One of the key issues of control theory is stability. A special group of methods has been developed for stability analysis: frequency stability criteria. They are based on the principle of an argument, which links the order of the initial system’s characteristic equation with variations in the complex function phase obtained by transforming this characteristic equation into the frequency domain. The Mikhailov criterion is a universal one among frequency criteria, which makes it possible to determine the complex function stability through constructing its locus. However, being literally a graphical implementation of the argument principle, the Mikhailov criterion is used only for analyzing the phase change; therefore, it seems interesting to reduce the calculations necessary for stability analysis. The article considers an alternative to the Mikhailov criterion in the form of an imaginary-real characteristic (IRC). By using this characteristic, one can perform exactly the same analysis of phase change, but now through constructing a graph representing the initial complex function’s imaginary to real component ratio rather than through constructing a full-fledged Mikhailov locus. The article presents evidence that IRC fully represents each requirement of the Mikhailov criterion, which means that IRC is also suitable to perform stability assessment. The IRC applicability limits are given along with the requirements according to which the system can be identified as a stable one. The IRC applicability areas are the same as those of the classical Mikhailov criterion, with the only exception that IRC, while having no less information content, is more compact and convenient to implement.
