Phase margin is a measure of the stability of a control system in the frequency domain. It quantifies the system's ability to tolerate variations in system parameters and external disturbances before becoming unstable. Specifically, phase margin is defined as the amount of additional phase lag at the gain crossover frequency (the frequency at which the open-loop gain of the system is unity, or 0 dB) that would lead to instability.
