A Theoretical And Experimental Analysis Of A Hall Generator, David L. Endsley

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

This is a study of the behavior of a "Hall Effect" device by theoretical and experimental methods to determine if its operation may be predicated for various magnetic fields, output resistances, operating temperatures, input resistances, input control currents, and device construction.

This information should prove useful in the design of a circuit where the use of a "Hall Effect" device is contemplated.

A Reactor Transfer Function Analyzer, Earl O. Swickard Jr

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

This thesis describes the design of a device for determining the transfer function of a nuclear reactor. A number of different methods have been successfully employed for this purpose but were, in some cases, tedious or required the use of delicately balanced components. The equipment described computes values which are simply related to the values of the transfer function and is operable over a frequency range of about 1000:1. The time required to obtain data for one frequency point is two minutes or less. No precise adjustment is necessary during operation.

Transient Response Of A Mass Mounted On A Nonlinear, Strain-Rate Sensitive Element, Wiley T. Holmes

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

The object of the present transient movement study was not that of investigation of response of a nonlinear system alone, but was projected to include the effect of a strain-rate sensitive, nonlinear restoring element.

Transistor Distributed Amplifier, Bill J. Harper

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

For the purpose of this report, it is assumed that the behavior of the transistor can be predicted from the study of a suitable circuit model or equivalent circuit of the transistor. It is further assumed that, except for the intrinsic short-circuit current gain, the circuit parameters of he transistor are independent of frequency and temperature. The primary interest in the study of transistor distributed amplifier here is the amplitude of the voltage gain in the amplification of video frequencies. Somewhat less detailed studies are made of the distributed amplifier in band-pass applications.

An Amplitude-Stable, Fixed-Frequency Transistorized Power Supply, Bobby O. Allen

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

The subject of this paper is the design of an ultrastable, fixed- frequency power supply capable of maintaining a high degree of amplitude stability over a wide range of resistive load values. The requirement for such a power supply originally arose in connection with the design of a particular piece of test equipment required by Sandia Corporation. No attempt will be made in this paper to justify or explain the necessity for the specified design criteria outlined in the following paragraphs other than to adequately define the design criteria.
