Design and Compensation of Control Systems: Objective Type Questions

This document contains 14 multiple choice questions about control systems design and compensation techniques. It covers topics like: 1) Phase lead networks are used to increase system bandwidth and provide faster transient response. 2) Phase lag compensation decreases system bandwidth, while phase lead compensation increases it. 3) Phase lead networks increase phase margin and stability, while helping meet error constant specifications. 4) Differentiator terms are avoided in control systems due to noise and amplifier saturation issues.

Objective Type Questions:

(i)Which one of the following statements is true?

Phase lead net work is used

(a) when fast transient response is desired.


(b) when error constants are specified
(c) when system bandwidth is to be decreased.

Ans: ( a )

(ii) Which one of the following statements is not true?

(a)The phase lead network increases the phase margin of the system and thus provides
additional stability

(b)When the design specifications include an error constant, the design of a phase lead
network is more readily accomplished on the Bode diagram.

(c) When an error constant is not specified but the settling time and overshoot for a step
input are specified, the design of a phase lead network is more readily carried out on the
s-plane.

(d) Phase lead compensation decreases the system bandwidth, whereas the phase lag
compensation increases the system bandwidth.

Ans: ( d )

complex roots that are severely underdamped:

Ans: ( b )

(iv ) The time domain method of compensation uses the following performance
