This lecture covers the design of lead compensators for PD controllers, focusing on improving phase margin and reducing steady-state error. It explains how to choose the derivative term to set the bandwidth and time constant, ensuring a closed-loop step response with specific characteristics. The instructor demonstrates the design process through examples and discusses the frequency response of the system. Additionally, the lecture introduces the concept of robustness margins and PID coefficients for further controller tuning.
