Lag Compensation
• Lag compensation is used to improve the steady state error
of the system.
• Generally Lag compensators are represented by following
transfer function

Lag Compensation
• Consider the problem of finding a suitable compensation network
for the case where the system exhibits satisfactory transient-
response characteristics but unsatisfactory steady-state
characteristics.
5
Lag Compensation
• To avoid an appreciable change in the root loci, the angle
contribution of the lag network should be limited to a small
amount, say less than 5°.
• To assure this, we place the pole and zero of the lag network
relatively close together and near the origin of the s plane.

Lag Compensation
• Consider a lag compensator Gc(s), where

• If we place the zero and pole of the lag compensator very close to
each other, then at s=s1 (where s1 is one of the dominant closed
1 1
loop poles) then the magnitudes 𝑠1 + and 𝑠1 + are almost

Lag Compensation
• If the pole and zero are placed very close to the origin, then the
value of 𝛽 can be made large.
• It is noted that the value of T must be large, but its exact value is
not critical.

Lag Compensation
• An increase in the gain means an increase in the static error
constants.

Lag Compensation
• The main negative effect of the lag compensation is that
the compensator zero that will be generated near the
origin creates a closed-loop pole near the origin.

operational amplifiers is the same as that for the lead compensator
