Lead lag transfer functions have the same order numerator polynomial as denominator polynomial. This example shows how to create a first order plus dead time model using the inputdelay or outputdelay properties of tf. The name phase lag system comes from the fact that a sinusoidal input causes a sinusoidal output, but with a phase lag. First order systems are an extremely important class of systems.
