Preface MECHASOFT Publishers and Educators, are vehemently and resolutely dedicated to promotion and elevation of Engineering education in India and abroad. In sync with this endeavor and owing to ever growing demand , we would like to facilitate the students and professionals of Electronics, Electrical and Instrumentation Engineering with conceptually empowered and accelerated pace of learning by means of a set of 265 new GATE pattern problems together with meticulous solutions. The key idea behind this book is to portray a 'dialogue between a teacher and taught' in the form of questions and answers to unfold the intricacies of Control Systems so as to bring cryptic concepts within the grasp of students and put them at natural ease to take competitive/university exams with ample enthusiasm and condence. The second edition of the Control Systems has been enriched with two Drill Tests; Test I consisting of 25 problems of 1mark each and Test II consisting of another 25 problems of 2 marks each. We are potentially condent that the students shall be able to grade their preparedness through these tests and the grade achieved therefrom , will enable them to further strengthen the areas of good understanding while decimating the weak areas therein. This might fascinate readers to know that our previously published titles: GATE Solutions to Enhance Solving Skills for EC, EE, Digital Electronics text book ,Analog Circuits Drill, Digital Electronics Drill , Control Systems Drill , Communication Systems Drill and Electrical Machines Drill are in wide circulation. Thousands of units of these titles, have been shipped through www.amazon.in/kindle and www.ipkart.com till now and over 500 plus reviews have been sought from top GATE rankers and renowned teachers. The reviews so far, have been unarguably inspiring and do render potential impetus to further develop allied texts. We look forward with ample eagerness, to more reviews for this text as well. We would not forget to thank Mr. Trilok Nath Mishra, a sincere personality for his consistent persuasion to complete the task.We express thanks from our deep within, to Shreyansh Mishra for his intelligent and quality typing. The nal script has been prepared with utmost care. However, thinking on line that, there is always a room for improvement in anything done, we would welcome and greatly appreciate suggestions for further improvements.

So, ω1 = 0.1 rad/sec.The corner frequency ω2 which corresponds to a pole, is one decade above ω = 1 rad/sec . So, ω2 = 10 rad/sec.

Since G 3 ( jw) dB = G1 ( jw) dB + G 2 ( jw) dB and ÐG 3 ( jw) = ÐG1 ( jw) + ÐG 2 ( jw) G1(jω) is minimum phase, G2(jω) is an all pass and G3(jω) which is obtained by cascading G1(jω) and G2(jω), is non minimum phase by virtue of zero of all pass system in RHP. Note that an all pass system is also non minimum phase.

Q140.(a) The curve crosses the 0 dB line at a phase angle of −150° with corresponding frequency 1 rad/sec. Therefore, ωg = 1 rad/sec and ϕm = 180°−150° = 30°. The curve crosses the −180° line at dB magnitude of −15dB with corresponding frequency 1.8 rad/sec. Therefore, ωπ = 1.8 rad/sec and Gm = 0 − (−15) = 15dB. Q141.(d) Phase margin f m = 180 o + Ð G ( j w ) H ( j w ) w = w gc ; w gc is gain cross over frequency. For f m = 45 o , Ð G ( j w ) H ( w )

w = w gc

= 45 o - 180 o = - 135 o.

The frequency at which ÐG( jw) H(w) = -135o , is 0.25 rad/sec and corresponding gain is 10 dB as shown in figure. So, k should be decreased by 10 dB where after new gain cross over frequency will be 0.25 rad/sec (the gain cross over frequency for k = 1, is 0.5 rad/sec). Since, antilog(10/20) = 3.162, the value of k for ϕm = 45°, will be equal to 1/3.162 = 0.316. 142.(d) The current gain margin GM = 0−(−3) = 3 dB and phase cross over frequency ωpc = 0.6 rad/sec.To raise GM from 3 dB to 10 dB, the plot should be shifted downward by 7 dB that can be done by decreasing k by 7 dB. Note that decreasing k will not change ωpc = 0.6 rad/sec. Variation in k, does not change phase. Since, antilog (7/20) = 2.239, the value of k for GM = 10dB, will be 1/2.239 = 0.447.

The corner frequency w C2 = a, lies on straight line having slope m = +20 dB/dec and passing through a point (x1 = log ω = 1, y1 = dB = 0). Use straight line equation y − y1 = m (x−x1) where x = logω and y = dB to get dB = 20 (logω − log1) and y = dB w=a = 15 gives log(a) – log(1) = 15/20 or a = antilog(15/20) = 5.62 Similarly, the corner frequency w C3 = b lies on straight line that has slope m = −20dB/dec and passes through the point ( ω =100, dB = 0). Use the straight line equation y − y1 = m(x − x1) to get dB = −20(logω− log100) and dB w= b = 15 gives 15= − 20 (logb −log100) and b = 100 antilog(−15/20) = 17.78 Collect the factors and use values of a and b to get transfer function model in time constant form as G( jw) =

GM dB = 20 log 8 = 18.06 dB Q150.(d) Initial segment has slope of −20dB/dec indicating presence of a pole at origin. Slope of −20dB/dec is also equivalent to slope of −6dB/oct. The corner frequency w c1 where slope changes by +20dB/dec, is one octave above the frequency ω = 0.1 rad/sec, that is, w c1= 0.1 × 2 = 0.2 rad/sec. The corner frequency w c1 is associated with real axis zero by virtue of slope change by +20dB/dec. Another corner frequency w c2 where slope changes by −20dB/dec, is associated with real axis pole and is one octave below ω = 100 rad/sec, that is, w c2 = (1/2) × 100 = 50 rad/sec . The gain k is evaluated from initial segment as follows
