Study Notes
Lag Compensator
- A lag compensator enhances a system's steady-state response, typically by decreasing steady-state error.
- It achieves this by introducing a low-frequency pole-zero pair, with the pole positioned closer to the origin than the zero.
- Improves steady-state accuracy by increasing low-frequency gain.
- Introduces a phase lag, potentially reducing system stability margins.
- Reduces transient response speed, leading to increased rise and settling times.
- Pole location is closer to the origin than the zero.
