3 Frequency Compensation to Improve Overall Performance  641





















































                           Figure 19 Effects of second-order lead compensation on a poorly damped system (inherent integration):
                           (a) root locus; (b) closed-loop frequency response.


                           is required, the use of inner feedback loops is generally more effective, as explained in
                           Section 4.


            3.3  Higher Order Effects
                           In the foregoing sections, the discussion has centered around systems whose forward-loop
                           dynamics can be approximated by relatively simple lag elements. While this approach is
                           often entirely adequate for controller design and performance estimation, the designer should
