Modelling of Non–linear Distortion in Vacuum Triodes Using Trans–characteristics Inverse and Newton’s Method
نویسنده
چکیده
The increased interest in vacuum tube audio amplifiers led to an increased interest in mathematical modelling of such kind of amplifiers. The main purpose of this paper is to develop a novel global numerical approach in calculation of the harmonic distortion (HD) and intermodulation distortion (IM) of vacuum-triode audio amplifiers, suitable for applications using brute-force of modern computers. Since the 3/2 power law gives only the transcharacteristic inverse of a vacuum triode amplifier, unknown plate currents are determined in this paper iteratively using Newton’s method. Using the resulting input/output pairs, harmonic distortions and intermodulations are calculated using discrete Fourier transform and three different analytical methods.

متن کاملTHE USE OF THE HE'S ITERATION METHOD FOR SOLVING NONLINEAR EQUATIONS USING CADNA LIBRARY
In this paper, we apply the Newton’s and He’s iteration formulas in order to solve the nonlinear algebraic equations. In this case, we use the stochastic arithmetic and the CESTAC method to validate the results. We show that the He’s iteration formula is more reliable than the Newton’s iteration formula by using the CADNA library.

Abstract:Today, one of the important issues of power quality (PQ) in power systems is the current harmonics. Increasing expansion of nonlinear loads at different parts of the electric network makes harmonic distortion flow through the network. This causes the network to have background voltage and current harmonic distortion and even affect on the PQ of linear load performance. Therefore, it is...

An integrated approach to the understanding of charge-controlled electronic devices is presented. Although only vacuum triodes and diffusion-type transistors are discussed in detail, the methods suggested are also applicable to gas-filled and multi-electrode vacuum structures, to surface-barrier and to drift-type transistors, and to space-chargelimited solid-state devices. The treatment is tuto...

In the current work, a 2D non-linear inverse problem of gravity data is solved using the evolution strategies (ES) to find the thickness of a sedimentary layer in a deep-water situation where a thick sedimentary layer usually exists. Such problems are widely encountered in the early stages of petroleum explorations where potential field data are used to find an initial estimate of the basin geo...
