• ### Pulsed a.m./f.m. c.w. radar

Publication Year: 1970, Page(s):485 - 492
| | PDF (952 KB)

A novel radar system is proposed which effectively and simply combines the respective merits of pulsed a.m. and f.m. c.w. Doppler radar, by the use of a combined a.m. and f.m. waveform. Simple waveform changes permit the radar to be adapted to suit a wide range of operational requirements. This type of radar would require computer control for its full exploitation, and it is assumed that its princ... View full abstract»

Several features of the diffraction of electromagnetic waves by large obstacles are examined both theoretically and by optical experiments using a laser source and idealised models. The underlying purpose of the work was to establish and verify, where possible, working methods of estimating the field strength in the shadows of rounded hills. The emphasis throughout is largely on the propagation co... View full abstract»

• ### Effect of observer adaptation on the results of television quality-grading tests

Publication Year: 1970, Page(s):512 - 514
Cited by:  Papers (1)
| | PDF (446 KB)

AdaptationÂ¿ is known to affect the results of television quality-grading tests, in the sense that observers become more critical when the average picture quality is high and vice versa. The magnitude of the effect of adaptation for a particular type of impairment is dependent on the value of an adaptation coefficientÂ¿ ; for the two types of impairment tested, flat random noise and a single ech...

Publication Year: 1970, Page(s):521 - 531
Cited by:  Papers (1)
| | PDF (1714 KB)

Recent developments in the UK telephone system have jointly resulted in a requirement for faster signalling between telephone exchanges. In a network using Channel-associatedÂ¿ signalling, lineÂ¿ signalling is usually effected on a link-by-link basis, and it is important to ensure that supervisory signals are repeated as quickly as possible. Fast interregisterÂ¿ signalling commonly takes the fo... View full abstract»

• ### Circuit, cutset and path enumeration, and other applications of edge-numbering convention

Publication Year: 1970, Page(s):532 - 538
| | PDF (908 KB)

New methods employing an edge-numbering convention are proposed for listing all circuits and cutsets of an arbitrary graph, which are an improvement over the ones recently given by Maxwell and Reed. Storage of a master path matrix, whereby the all-path matrix between any two nodes of a given graph can be derived by simple modification, is discussed. A technique for generation of all trees, includi... View full abstract»

• ### Synthesis of RC active filters using controlled sources

Publication Year: 1970, Page(s):539 - 544
Cited by:  Papers (2)
| | PDF (622 KB)

A new synthesis procedure employing only unity-gain controlled sources is introduced, by which the denominator polynomial of a voltage transfer function can be decomposed in two ways. One of these gives a prescribed pole sensitivity, the modulus and argument of which can easily be controlled. The other gives a pole sensitivity that can be optimised by Calahan's RC-RL decomposition. A modification ... View full abstract»

Cited by:  Papers (3)
| | PDF (535 KB)

This paper analyses the hunting nature of induction motors when driving oscillating loads. Proceeding from the equation of motion of the oscillating system, it is shown that the electrical torque developed by an induction motor has two components; the damping torque and the synchronising torque. Neglecting, at first, the effect of the stator resistance, and limiting the investigation to small osci... View full abstract»

| | PDF (1132 KB)

When a step voltage is applied to only one phase, the transient overvoltages seen at the first joint of a cross bonded system may be calculated by equivalent circuits which are developed in terms of the surge impedance of the cable in the coaxial mode, the sheath-earth and the sheath-sheath surge impedances. The results are tabulated for a tight-earthÂ¿ model in which the three phases are confine... View full abstract»

After outlining general principles for setting up a comparison of alternatives, the paper describes the single basic concept for economic comparisons, namely, present-valuing. Present-valuing (or discounting) is essential to take account of the timing of costs and revenues (or cash flows). Three equally acceptable methods of making comparisons, commonly known as discounted-cash-flow, present-value... View full abstract»

Synchronous motors appear to offer a number of advantages over induction motors when used on variable-frequency supplies for the final drive of a high-power servo. The paper examines two aspects of such drives relevant to synchronous motors when so used; limiting acceleration and frequency-response characteristics, and their dependence on certain pertinent variables such as field excitation and am...

• ### Extended root-locus technique for design of linear multivariable feedback systems

Publication Year: 1970, Page(s):618 - 622
| | PDF (609 KB)

The root-locus-approximation procedure is extended to provide for the complex-plane analysis of equations which contain a term quadratic in the variable parameter in addition to the usual linear term. Such an extension will have many applications; in the paper, a discussion is given concerning the design of linear time-invariant multivariable feedback systems. It is shown that, particularly for 2-... View full abstract»
