Question 1: Give the block diagram reduction rules to find the transfer function of

the system.
(14 Marks — 250+ Words Answer)

In control systems, a block diagram is a graphical representation of the functional

relationship between system components. Each block represents a system element or
function with input-output relations shown using transfer functions. To analyze
such systems, it's important to reduce the block diagram into a single equivalent
transfer function, which is the ratio of the output to the input in the Laplace
domain.

Here are the standard block diagram reduction rules used for this simplification:

Blocks in Series (Cascade):

If two or more blocks are connected end-to-end, their overall transfer function is
the product of individual transfer functions.

𝐺

Blocks in Parallel:
If two blocks are connected in parallel and their outputs are added or subtracted,
their transfer functions are added or subtracted respectively.

G(s)

Eliminating Summing and Take-off Points:

Summing points can be shifted ahead or behind blocks with appropriate changes in
signals.

Take-off points (used for feedback) can also be moved across blocks using the same
principle.

Multiple Loops and Branches:

When multiple feedback paths or summing junctions exist, apply rules iteratively
from the innermost loop outward.

By applying these rules step-by-step, even complex block diagrams can be

simplified. This simplification allows easier computation of system stability, time
response, and design of compensators. Block diagram reduction is especially useful
in classical control system design, where visual simplification aids in better
system understanding and analysis.

Question 2: Find all the time domain specifications for a unity feedback control
system whose open-loop transfer function is given by G(s).
(14 Marks — 250+ Words Answer)

In a unity feedback control system, the output is directly compared with the input
(reference signal) to produce an error signal. The time-domain specifications
describe how the system responds to a standard input (typically a unit step input)
and are crucial for determining the quality of transient response.

For a second-order system, the standard transfer function is:

Steady-State Error (ess):

✅ Routh-Hurwitz Stability Criterion:

Routh’s criterion is a mathematical method to determine the stability of a system
by checking the sign changes in the first column of the Routh Array formed from the
characteristic equation.

A system is stable if and only if all the roots of its characteristic equation lie
in the left half of the s-plane.
This happens only when all elements in the first column of the Routh array are
positive and there are no sign changes.

s² Copy below if 0 in s³
s¹ ...
s⁰ ...

❗ Since 0 appears in the first column of s³ row, we must apply the auxiliary
equation method or use ε (a small number) to proceed.

It indicates that further checking is needed, and such conditions may represent
marginal stability or oscillation if roots lie on the imaginary axis.

s⁴ -20 -1 -10
s³ Calculated using determinants

In this equation, the first column contains both positive and negative terms, which
means:

There are sign changes in the first column.

Hence, the system is unstable.

The number of sign changes gives the number of roots in the right half of the s-
plane (i.e., unstable roots).

✅ Conclusion:
For (a), due to a zero in the first column, special care is needed → marginally
stable or unstable.

For (b), direct sign change → clearly unstable.

Routh criterion is a powerful analytical tool to predict system stability without

solving the characteristic equation directly.

Question 5: Explain the procedure for constructing root locus.

(14 Marks — 250+ Words Answer)

The Root Locus is a graphical method in control system design used to analyze how
the roots (or poles) of a system change with respect to variations in a gain
parameter (K). It helps determine system stability, transient response, and is
widely used in controller tuning.

Let’s assume an open-loop transfer function:

𝑠
(

𝐻
)

𝑠
(

𝐾
=

𝑁
⋅

𝑠
(

𝐷
)

𝑠
(
)
G(s)H(s)=

The characteristic equation becomes:

𝑠
(

𝐾

𝑁

)
=
0
1+G(s)H(s)=0⇒D(s)+K⋅N(s)=0
The Root Locus is the path traced by the roots of this equation as K varies from 0
to ∞.

✅ Steps to Construct Root Locus:

Identify Poles and Zeros of G(s)H(s):
Plot them on the s-plane. Poles (×), Zeros (o).

Number of Branches:
Equal to the number of poles. Each branch starts from a pole and moves towards a
zero (finite or at infinity).

Real Axis Segments:

A point on the real axis lies on the root locus if the total number of poles and
zeros to its right is odd.

Asymptotes:
When number of poles (n) > number of zeros (m), (n – m) branches go to infinity
along asymptotes:

✅ Application:
Root locus is widely used in designing compensators (lead, lag) to meet desired
time-domain specs (like overshoot, settling time, etc.) by placing the poles at
strategic locations.

It’s a powerful visual tool for understanding how gain affects system dynamics and
stability.

designing systems to avoid unwanted resonance in physical systems.

Question 7: Obtain the transfer function of Lag Compensator, draw pole-zero plot
and write the procedure for design of Lag Compensator using Bode plot.
(14 Marks — 250+ Words Answer)
A Lag Compensator is used in control systems to improve steady-state accuracy
without significantly affecting the transient response or stability of the system.
It increases low-frequency gain, thereby reducing steady-state error, while
maintaining good phase margin.

✅ Transfer Function of Lag Compensator:

The standard transfer function is:

(

𝑠
=

𝑧
+

𝑝
+

𝑧
where

𝑝
<

G
lag

(s)=
s+p
s+z

where z<p
This ensures that the zero lies to the left of the pole on the s-plane. The
compensator adds a pole-zero pair with low frequency, improving the low-frequency
gain while keeping the high-frequency behavior unchanged.

✅ Pole-Zero Plot:

𝛼
, where

>

α>1

The zero is closer to origin than the pole on the real axis.

This causes the Bode plot to boost gain at low frequencies without increasing gain
at high frequencies, thus reducing steady-state error.

✅ Design Procedure Using Bode Plot:

Draw Bode plot of the uncompensated system.

Determine required improvement in steady-state error, and compute required increase

in DC gain.

Choose
