What is the typical visual effect of a properly designed lag-lead compensator on a Nichols chart plot?
Explanation
On a Nichols chart, a lag-lead compensator reshapes the open-loop frequency response curve in two ways. The lag part increases the low-frequency gain (pushing the bottom of the curve up), improving steady-state error. The lead part pushes the section of the curve near the gain crossover frequency up and to the right, which increases the bandwidth and the phase margin, improving the transient response.
