The problem of Finite Settling Time Stabilisation (FSTS) for multivariable, discrete-time systems is discussed in this paper. The approach is algebraic and the problem reduces to the solution of a polynomial Diophantine equation; many of the solvability conditions are expressed as standard linear algebra tests. A Kučera-YoulaBonjiorno type parametrisation of the family of the FSTS controllers i...

A BiCMOS frequency synthesizer compliant for both Wireless LAN (WLAN) 802.11a and 802.11b standards is presented. Proposed adaptive dual-loop PLL architecture improves reference spur rejection and settling time performance. The synthesizer is fabricated in a 0.25 μm BiCMOS process and dissipates 70 mW from a single 2.5 V supply. It occupies a silicon area of 1.7 mm2. Test-chip measurement resul...

This article deals with experimental and theoretical studies of the sedimentation of polydisperse agarose beads with broad particle size distributions. A light-extinction principle was used to measure the variation of solid concentration in the suspension with time and settling distance. Di4erent experimental conditions have been used to show the in5uence of solid concentration and liquid densi...

In the paper a phenomenon of the existence of a sample time minimizing the settling time in a digital control system is described. As a control plant an experimental heat object was used. The control system was built with the use of a soft PLC system SIEMENS SIMATIC. As the control algorithm a finite dimensional dynamic compensator was applied. During tests of the control system it was observed...

The vibrational wavepacket of a diatomic molecular ion at the time of ionization is usually considered to be generated on the basis of the Franck-Condon principle. According to this principle, the amplitude of each vibrational wavefunction in the wavepacket is given by the overlap integral between each vibrational wavefunction and the ground vibrational wavefunction in the neutral molecule, and...
