Design And Applications Of A Graphics Package For The Hp1000 Computer., Hsiao-Chih George Lee May 1986

Design And Applications Of A Graphics Package For The Hp1000 Computer., Hsiao-Chih George Lee

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The objective of this thesis is to develop the FORTRAN subroutine PLOTER which is a general-purpose plotting tool to plot charts on a Hewlett Packard plotter. The programs RESP and INVLAP which can plot the frequency and time responses of system functions are modified to adopt the PLOTER subroutine and are stored of the HP1000-A900 minicomputer whose software, the GRAPHICS/1000, supports the graphics ability of PLOTER. This thesis describes the theories, functions, software techniques and operations of the PLOTER subroutine and the application programs RESP and the INVLAP. It also provides program listings and example plots.


A Loran-C Antenna Coupling Unit., Timothy Andrew Reilly 1963- Jan 1986

A Loran-C Antenna Coupling Unit., Timothy Andrew Reilly 1963-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This project is the design of an antenna-coupling unit (ACU) that will operate with the Texas Instruments LORAN-C receiver and a 28-inch antenna. The height of the antenna used at the present is eight feet. Since the application of LORAN-C positioning is being expanded to vehicular location, an eight-foot antenna is not practical. The shorter antenna is necessary to prohibit striking trees, overpasses, etc. The newly designed ACU has more voltage gain to compensate for the attenuation of the incoming signal due to the shortening of the antenna. It also has a bandpass of 90 KHz-110 KHz with the center …
