An Approximate Min-Max Solution To The Identification Problem, Richard Loyd Warren
An Approximate Min-Max Solution To The Identification Problem, Richard Loyd Warren
Masters Theses
"A technique based on the min-max error criterion is proposed for identifying a dynamic system in terms of a discrete-time model from the system response to a deterministic input. A linear, single-input/single-output, lumped-parameter, time-invariant (at least during the measurement interval) system is assumed. Although the resulting problem is non-linear, it is shown that linear programming techniques are applicable if a realistic approximation is made. The technique is implemented on the digital computer and evaluated by considering a number of typical discrete-time systems. The effects of additive noise are also considered"--Abstract, page ii.
A Digital Simulation For Optimum Nonlinear Detection Of Binary Signals In Impulsive Noise, Ralph Bernard Fluchel
A Digital Simulation For Optimum Nonlinear Detection Of Binary Signals In Impulsive Noise, Ralph Bernard Fluchel
Masters Theses
"The problem of reducing the effects of impulsive noise on binary communication systems is considered. A digital simulation of such a system is developed in order to find a nearly optimum (minimum probability of error criterion) nonlinear device to precede detection. The level of the Gaussian noise power is found to be the most important parameter for determining the nearly optimum nonlinear device"--Abstract, page ii.
Next-State Equation Generation For Asynchronous Sequential Circuits - Normal Mode, Gregory Martin Bednar
Next-State Equation Generation For Asynchronous Sequential Circuits - Normal Mode, Gregory Martin Bednar
Masters Theses
"This paper describes the known methods of generating next-state equations for asynchronous sequential circuits operating in normal fundamental mode. First, the methods that have been previously developed by other authors are explained and correlated in a simple and uniform language in order that the subtle differences of these approaches can be seen. This review is then followed by a development of a new method for generating minimal next-state equations which has some advantages over the previous methods. From the comparison of the previous known methods, it is noted that any one of these methods may be desirable for certain designs …
Digital Simulation Of A Signal Conditioner/Bit Synchronizer, Quentin Reed Webb
Digital Simulation Of A Signal Conditioner/Bit Synchronizer, Quentin Reed Webb
Masters Theses
"A bit rate filter type signal conditioner/bit synchronizer used in a split-phase PCM system is modeled digitally in three stages to determine overall system performance. General computer algorithms are developed to approximate independent operation of each major segment within the device. Bit rate effects and signal time-base error are investigated yielding the characteristic G-curves for the phase detector. These characteristics facilitate subsequent analysis of a linear equivalent digital-data-transition tracking phase-locked loop under several typical time-base error input conditions. Using bit error probabilities as performance criteria, the conditioner/synchronizer is found to perform adequately at signal-to-noise ratios exceeding +10dB. For inputs below …
Probe Detection Of Microwave Perturbation In A Magnetoplasma, Show-Ran Peter Wang
Probe Detection Of Microwave Perturbation In A Magnetoplasma, Show-Ran Peter Wang
Masters Theses
"When a microwave signal with a frequency near the electron upper hybrid resonance is applied to a magnetoplasma, it will excite the plasma. The perturbation of plasma can be detected by using Langmuir probes. The particular plasma used in this experiment is an argon discharge type and the density is relatively low (n~10⁸ cm⁻³). The electron temperature is about 7000º K. Because a magnetic field is applied to the plasma, it is necessary to use the probe theory in a magnetic field to calculate the electron number density from the electron temperature. In order to determine the electron upper hybrid …
Digital Simulation Of A Costas Loop Demodulator In Gaussian Noise And Cw Interference, Ajay Mugatlal Mehta
Digital Simulation Of A Costas Loop Demodulator In Gaussian Noise And Cw Interference, Ajay Mugatlal Mehta
Masters Theses
"A digital computer model of a Costas loop has been employed to study the effects of Gaussian noise and continuous-wave interference on the detection of biphase modulated signals. The dependence of bit-error probability, mean-square error between input and output, phase-error variance and threshold on signal-to-Gaussian-noise power ratio, interference-to-Gaussian-noise power ratio and frequency offset of the interference have been investigated and compared with previously obtained experimental results. The model has been verified for its accuracy in the case of no noise and when Gaussian noise is present at its input"--Abstract, Page ii.
Fault Detection On Sequential Machines, Chung-Tao David Wang
Fault Detection On Sequential Machines, Chung-Tao David Wang
Masters Theses
"This paper presents an algorithm for deriving an optimum test sequence for detecting faults in a synchronous machine. In this study, the flow table is used as a tool to generate the fault detection tests. The fault stuck-at-1 (or stuck-at-0 ) is said to be present when a permanent signal valued 1 (or 0) appears on a component of the machine. Only single faults are treated . The result of the procedure is one or more test sequences guaranteed to detect a set of faults (Fp). First, sequential machines with feedback lines as memory elements are considered . …

"The General Purpose Automatic Test System was developed for the Air Force as a system to automatically test and fault isolate an electronic unit under test. The Test System is a building block concept and this paper developed the hardware and programming software necessary to integrate an oscilloscope into the system. A Tektronix Type 564 oscilloscope with a Tektronix Type 3A5 Programmable Amplifier and a Tektronix Type 3B5 Programmable Time Base was used. A prototype of the digital and analog interface between the Test System and the Tektronix System was built and demonstrated. The Oscilloscope Building Block displays waveforms only …
An Explicit Simulation Of Overland Flow, Glendon Taylor Stevens
An Explicit Simulation Of Overland Flow, Glendon Taylor Stevens
Masters Theses
"Computer simulation of overland flow requires a mathematical model which converges to a true solution. This paper presents a method, based on measurable physical parameters, which insures convergence of a fixed grid explicit numerical solution. Analysis of a wide range of overland flow plane parameters has resulted in an equation of the form Δt = 0. 2 ΔX/So, for the time step increment. This equation provides values for Δt that will insure stability and convergence of the fixed grid explicit numerical method of solving the spatially varied unsteady flow equations. The effect of subarea shape on the rising …

"A system for the simultaneous processing of radar precipitation signals and lightning stroke location data has been designed. The system is to be used for the purpose of determining spatial and temporal correlations of lightning and thunderstorm precipitation. This system has been developed to gain further information about the cause-effect relationship between lightning stroke activity and thunderstorm precipitation. Data acquisition and processing is accomplished through the use of an AN/FPS-18 radar set, an SCC-650 digital computer system, a radar interface, and a set of lightning detectors. The radar set provides information on precipitation activity in a circle of radius fifty …
Neutron Dependence Of Neutral Base Region Recombination, J. Bereisa, C. A. Goben
Neutron Dependence Of Neutral Base Region Recombination, J. Bereisa, C. A. Goben
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
A discrete, deterministic mathematical model has been developed for the bulk base region of graded base devices that accounts for both the effects of neutron-induced recombination and built-in electric field in the base region at low, intermediate, and moderate current/injection levels. Exact expressions are developed for the bulk base recombination current and the collector current as functions of neutron fluence. Exact expressions are derived for the base recombination term and the relative rates of neutron-induced base current increase and collector current decrease. These expressions involve exponential and hyperbolic functions and are well suited for numerical computations and theoretical analysis. Damage …
Electric Field Strength Dependence Of Surface Damage In Oxide Passivated Silicon Planar Transistors, C. A. Goben
Electric Field Strength Dependence Of Surface Damage In Oxide Passivated Silicon Planar Transistors, C. A. Goben
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
A dependence of surface degradation induced by ionizing radiation in matched oxide-passivated silicon planar epitaxial transistors on junction fringing electric field strength present during exposure is reported. The electric field strength and gamma dose dependence are investigated of the decrease in the forward current gain, hFE (as reflected by the increase in the surface recombination current component), the increase in the surface recombination velocity (as reflected by the increase in the reciprocal of the minority carrier lifetime), and the increase in junction capacitance. Empirical prediction equations have been derived, for matched devices, correlating the normalized base current increase and the …
Nuclear Radiation Enhancement Of Transistor Forward Gain At High Frequencies, C. A. Goben, Y. P. Han
Nuclear Radiation Enhancement Of Transistor Forward Gain At High Frequencies, C. A. Goben, Y. P. Han
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
This investigation has characterized the effects of fast neutron bombardment on a typical n-p-n transistor (2N914) of a common emitter amplifier operating at high-frequencies (>100 MHz) by means of s-parameter measurements from 120 MHz to 350 MHz, inclusive, every 10 MHz. The changes in the four (4) s-parameters and the trends and consequences of neutron bombardment are examined pictorially on graphs. The general effect of fast neutron bombardment is to decrease the magnitude of each s-parameter for frequencies below z. fT (where z = (O/1013)0.1). However, if the device is operating above z fT, the magnitudes of s11 (input …

Excitation Requirement For Rectified Output Ac Generators, Richard Thomas Smith
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
This paper develops a method for calculating the required dc field current of a three-phase synchronous ac generator for known dc load conditions and machine characteristics. The method is simple to apply and has shown good agreement with test data. The method is of utility for preliminary design and analysis of rectified output alternators, such as may be used in excitation systems of the largest ac generators, space vehicle power applications, or high-power industrial rectification.
