UNIT II TIME RESPONSE ANALYSIS

Transient response-steady state response-Measure of performance of the standard first order and second order system-Time domain specifications -Effect on an additional zero and an additional pole-Steady state error – Type number-PID control-Effect of PD, PI, PID control systems.

UNIT III FREQUENCY RESPONSE ANDSYSTEM ANALYSIS

Closed loop frequency Response-Performance specification in frequency domain – Bode Plot – Polar Plot- Design of compensators using Bode plots – Cascade lead compensation – Cascade lag compensation- Cascade lag-lead compensation.

UNIT IV CONCEPTSOFSTABILITYANALYSIS
