lag compensator low frequency gain similar to PI controller
lead compensator dominant closed loop dynamics
PID is good at low frequency compared to system poles Truxals rules the relative degree of the closed loop system should at least be equal to that of the open loop system. Gcl(s) to possess unity gain over as high a bandwidth as possible. The third and final guideline is to choose Gcl such that the controller is stable. only 1-Gcl(s) is suspect. Since it occurs in the denominator, we need to ensure that the zeros of this transfer function are not in the right half plane (RHP). design of robust control systems is one example where root locus trumps over bode plots. design for dominant pole dynamics-root locus performance specs: loop gain magnitude stability specs: phase curve sensitivity dirt phase and gain are interlinked by bode gain phase relation
