Design Procedure
1. Draw the Bode magnitude and phase plots for a convenient value of
gain. (given)
2. Using he following Eqs, to determine the required phase margin from
the percent overshoot. (calculate phase margin)
3. Find the frequency, 𝑤∅𝑀 , on the Bode phase diagram that yields the
desired phase margin, CD, as shown on Figure 11.1.
4. Change the gain by an amount AB to force the magnitude curve to go
through 0 dB at 𝑤∅𝑀 . The amount of gain adjustment is the additional
gain needed to produce the required phase margin.
Lag Compensation
The function of the lag compensator is to
(1) improve the static error constant by increasing only the low-
frequency gain without any resulting instability,
(2) increase the phase margin of the system to yield the desired
transient response.
