  1. The maximum phase shift that can be provided by a lead compensator with transfer function
    G (s) =
    1 + 6s
    1 + 2s
    is—
    1. 15°
    2. 30°
    3. 45°
    4. 60°
Correct Option: B

Given GC(s) =
1 + 6s
....…(i)
1 + 2s

In phase lead compensator
Vo(s)
= G(s) =
α(1 + sT)
.......…(ii)
Vi(s)(1 + αsT)

on comparing equations (i) and (ii), we have
T = 6
αT = 2
or α = 2/6 = 1/3
Now,
sin φm =
1 – α
=
1 - (1/3)
1 + α1 + (1/3)

or
sin φm = 1/2
or
φm = 30°
Alternative method
Gc(s) =
1 + 6s
1 + 2s

Phase shift is φ = tan–1 6ω – tan–1
=
6
-
2
1 + 36ω21 + 4ω2

For maximum value of φ put
= 0

∴ 3(1 + 4ω2) = 1 + 36ω2
or
12ω2 = 1
or
ω =
1
12

Thus,
φ = tan–1

tan–1(√3) - tan–1

= 60° – 30° = 30°
