Homework 5: Frequency Response Cascade Compensator Design

Problems

  1. The uncompensated loop-transfer function of a system is $G(s)H(s)=2s(s+2).Assumingunitygainfeedback,designacascadeleadcompensatortoachieveavelocityconstantK_v$ of 20 and a phase margin of 45°.

  2. Design a lag compensator for the system of Question 1 to achieve the same design constraints. Compare the relative merits of the two approaches.

  3. The open-loop transfer function of a position control system is $Go(s)=25s(1+14s)(1+116s).$ The system’s gain and phase margin are to exceed 1.5 and 15° respectively. Determine whether these specification are satisfied and if not design a lead compensator to meet the specifications and also to maintain the open-loop gain at 25.

  4. Using frequency response methods, design a compensator to achieve a step-response with a rise time tr0.4 s, a peak overshoot %OS20% and a step error constant Kp=20 for the system with plant transfer function $3(s+1)(s+3).EstimatetheclosedloopbandwidthofthecompensatedsystemandtheresonantpeakM_{\mathrm{max}}$·

  6. Repeat the design of Question 4 using the w-transform method to determine the parameters of a suitable digital compensator. Assume that the sampling frequency ωs=10ωBw. Write down the difference equation of the resulting digital compensator.
