  1. The transfer function of a compensating network is of the form (1 + α Ts)/ (1 + Ts). If this is a phase-lag network, the value of α should be—
    1. exactly equal to 0
    2. between 0 and 1
    3. exactly equal to 1
    4. greater than 1.
Correct Option: B

Given
Vo(s)
=
(1 + αTs)
Vi(s)(1 + sT)

The output leads to the input by an angle
φ = tan–1
αT
- tan–1(T)
1

If α is > 1, φ is positive and if 0 < α < 1 then φ becomes negative meaning that output will lag the input by φ. Since the given function is to represent a phase lag network, so α should be between 0 and 1.
