An Analysis Of A Shunt-Peaked Video Amplifier And Feedback Pair Having The Same Edge Response, Bernard J. Regenauer

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

Statement of the problem. It is the purpose of this study (1) to investigate the feasibility of employing a feedback pair instead of a shunt-peaked video amplifier in a typical circuit application; (2) to determine the steady-state gain ratio between a feedback pair and a single shunt-peaked video amplifier having the same edge response (rise time and overshoot) and to analyze the effect of varying either the rise time or overshoot of both circuits upon this ratio; (3) to make a limited study of the steady state gain ratio of a feedback pair and a cascade of two shunt-peaked video …

The Transient Response Of A Distributed Amplifier, Thomas D. Lusk

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

The purpose of this paper is to describe the transient behavior of a simple constant-K distributed amplifier stage. The derivation of the transfer function is carried out using the Laplace Transform for the case where losses in the lines are considered to be zero. The various characteristics of the amplifier response to a unit step function are discussed and the effects of losses and other modifying factors upon the idealized response are evaluated. Finally design procedures are derived which allow the circuit designer to determine the circuit parameters necessary for good transient responses. These procedures are applied to the design …

An Experimental And Theoretical Investigation Of The Characteristics Of A Magnetic Amplifier, Merle H. Wittmeyer

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

Many excellent analyses of magnetic amplifiers have been published. As in every investigation, however, there are many details not explained. The purpose of this investigation was to explain some of the details of magnetic amplifier characteristics.

Servo-Stabilization Of Drift In Wide-Band D-C Amplifiers., Joel M. Simmons Jr.

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

It was the purpose of this study to determine the suitability of a comparator and negative feedback circuit (servo-type) as a general utility method of reducing the end effect (zero-drift) of changing static characteristics of the vacuum tubes and other associated components in wide-band direct-coupled amplifiers. A brief description of the drift servo-stabilization system and its drift reducing characteristics are as follows.

The Design And Construction Of An Electronic D-C Analog Computer, Frederick R. Wagner, William A. Paar

Masters Theses

"To make this project realizable with the funds available and in the time allowed, and to set forth some definite goals, the following objectives were adopted:

1. Design, construct, and place in working order a d-c electronic analog computer capable of solving 4th order linear differential equations with constant coefficients.
2. Include in the design provisions for real time computation, and also fast, repetitive operation.
3. Provide for later expansion of the computer installation.
4. Limit expenditures to $700"--Introduction, page 4.
