Design a lead compensator for a control system shown below so that the damping ratio
= 0.5 and the undamped natural frequency n = 4 rad/s. If the compensator is based on
the RC network, give the components values.

Plot the poles s = 0, s = 4 and the desired point sp = 2 + 3.464 and let this
be point P.
Draw the line from P to the origin, i.e. PO
Draw a horizontal line passing through point P, i.e. PA
Bisect the angle between the lines PA and PO and draw the bisector PB.
Draw two lines PC and PD that makes angles /2, i.e. 15o with the bisector
PB.
The intersection of PC with the real axis gives the necessary location fort the
pole of the compensator, i.e. pole at s = 5.4 or Pc = 5.4
The intersection of PD with the real axis gives the necessary location fort the
zero of the compensator, i.e. zero at s = 2.9 or Zc = 2.9.

From the transfer function of the RC network, R1C = T and R2/(R1 + R2) = .
Then we have, R1C = 0.344 and let C = 1 F , then R1 = 344 k
And also we have
R2
0.537 and given that R1 = 344 k, we have R2 = 400 k.
