Where you previously designed a lead (and lag) compensator to meet stability margin and
error requirements, you will now follow a different (graphical) approach to design a similar
compensator, however this time to meet a desired damping ratio and desired natural
frequency n for the closed loop system.
In this case, suppose you wish to control the focus of a laser to conduct interferometry
experiments, done through adjustment of the position of an optical lens. Knowing you desire
quite a high natural frequency n of 5radsec to provide a high response rate needed for
real-time control, along with a moderate damping ratio of 0.5 to limit overshoot, you have
set out to employ a lead compensator to achieve this. With the block diagram for this
controlled system illustrated in Figure 1, complete the following steps to design and evaluate
the performance of the controller:
