This paper deals with the experimental control of a rotating active magnetic bearing (AMB) system using PID-type fuzzy controllers (PIDFCs) with parameter adaptive methods. There are three kinds of parameter adaptive methods, including fuzzy tuner, function tuner, and relative rate observer, have been proposed in literatures for tuning the coefficients of PIDFCs. However, only a simulation comp...

This paper considers a quadratic stabilization problem by an H1 controller. The controller is constructed by a linear fractional transformation on contractive time-varying gains. The controller parameterization is given in terms of contractive time-varying gains. This free parameter can be used to improve the closed-loop response. A tuning method of time-varying gains is chosen so that a Lyapun...

The evident diiculties in creating eecient parallel programs have encouraged the development of computer-based support tools for performance analysis. Our work focuses on gaining a better understanding of the task of performance analysis and tuning, and using this to establish where computer-based support can be most eeectively applied. We distinguish between the diiculties inherent in tuning i...

The TRIUMF ISAC 2 RF control system uses phase locking self-excited control. Amplitude, phase and frequency control is achieved with I/Q voltage injection, and forward RF power is minimized with a tuner feedback loop. The phase difference between the input coupler and the output pickup drives a velocity servo system to provide tuning control. However, the presence of microphonics in the cryomod...

An improvement to the load-pull technique for a large-signal design of a transistor amplifier is proposed. On the contrary to the current load-pull technique – a smallsignal pre-matching on the output of the transistor is applied which results in reduced demands on a maximum VSWR of the tuner. This minimizes the launcher radiation in the K band and reduces measurement uncertainty. The proposed ...

Introduction There are several possible mechanisms that might underlie perceptual excellence, which we can describe by reference to a metaphor regarding audio amplifiers. There are several factors that limit a physical device such as a radio receiver. First, the internal amplifier has some intrinsic noise, which gets amplified along with the radio signal. Second, the radio tuner may be unaccept...

Several aspects of the beam-cavity interaction were investigated in a beam test of the superconducting accelerating cavity module for the CESR upgrade: the time structure of the cavity wake potential, sampled with two bunches, the effect of the module on the total machine loss factor, and the influence of the cavity tuner position on the frequencies and damping times of coupled bunch modes. The...
