Frequency Response of the System and Lead Compensator
Design
AIM:
The objective of the experiment is to obtain frequency response of a given system.
Design a lead compensator to achieve desired specifications.
APPARATUS:
MATLAB software
THEORY:
BODE PLOT
Bode plot is a frequency domain technique in which magnitude and phase of transfer
function (𝑠) are drawn one below the others.
Graph I is Magnitude Plot i.e. graph of function |(𝑠 = 𝑗𝜔)| of frequency 𝜔.
Graph II is Phase plot i.e. graph of the transfer function ⦞𝐻 𝑠 = 𝑗𝜔 as a function of 𝜔.
Purpose of the Bode Plot:
1. To draw the frequency response of OLTF.
2. To find the closed loop system stability.
3. To find the relative stability by using GM & PM.
COMPENSATOR
The control systems are designed to perform specific tasks.
The requirements of a control system are usually specified as performance
specifications are generally related to accuracy, relative stability and speed of
response.
In frequency domain, the transient state performance specifications are given in
terms of phase margin, gain margin, resonant peak and bandwidth.
The steady state requirements are given in terms of error constants.
The first step in design is the adjustment of gain to meet the desired specifications.
INTRODUCTION OF COMPENSATOR
In practical systems, adjustment of gain alone will not be sufficient to meet the given
specifications.
In many cases, increasing the gain may result in poor stability or instability.
In such cases, it is necessary to introduce additional devices or components in the
system to alter the behavior and meet the desired specifications.
Such a redesign or addition of a suitable device is called compensation.
A device inserted into the system for the purpose of satisfying the specifications is
called compensator.
The compensators basically introduces pole or zero in open loop transfer function to
modify the performance of the system.
COMPENSATION SCHEMES
In series compensation, the compensator with transfer function, is placed in series
with plant.
In feedback compensation, the signal from some element is feedback to the input
and a compensator with transfer function is placed in the resulting inner feedback
path.
The compensator may be electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic or other type
of device or network.
EXERCISE:
Design a lead compensator for a unity feedback system with open loop transfer
function that satisfy the following requirements,
i. ess <= 0.01 For a ramp reference input,
ii. PM >= 50 degree

CONCLUSION:
In this experiment we get to know about the frequency responses of a given system and
how to design a lead compensator to achieve desired specifications. So the lead
compensation improves the speed of response.
