Application of Z-transforms to sampled-data systems
Program performs general analysis of linear and continuous, discrete and sampled-data systems using state-variable techniques. Program is especially suited analysis of linearized control system problems. It also can be used to model system described by combination of differential equations and Laplace transform blocks, such as aircraft control system.

Design parameters and resulting performance are presented for the sampled data analogies of continuous time phase locked loops of second and third order containing perfect integrators. Expressions for noise equivalent bandwidth and steady state errors are given. Stability and gain margin are investigated using z plane root loci. Finally, an application is presented for Voyager subcarrier and carrier tracking under the dynamics of the encounters with Uranus and Neptune. For carrier tracking, loop bandwidth narrow enough for satisfactory loop signal to noise ratios can be achieved using third order loops without rate aiding, whereas second order loops would require aiding. For subcarrier tracking, third order loops can be used when the sampling rate is limited to approximately once per second, as in the Baseband Assembly, whereas second order loops sufficiently wide to track the dynamics have stability problems at that sampling rate.
Abstract The integrated luminosities of data samples collected in the BESIII experiment in 2016–2017 at center-of-mass energies between 4.19 and 4.28 GeV are measured with a precision better than 1% by analyzing large-angle Bhabha scattering events. The integrated luminosities of old datasets collected in 2010–2014 are updated by considering corrections related to detector performance, offsetting the effect of newly discovered readout errors in the electromagnetic calorimeter, which can haphazardly occur.
Final design and initial fabrication of microminiature digital data sampling modules
MCNP5/X has the capability to perform photon Doppler broadening to incorporate the effect of bound electrons on photon scattering. This effect is generally important if energy spectra or detector responses are desired for photons in the tens to hundreds of keY energy range. In the Fall of 2011, a diligent MCNP user noticed that the sampling routines in MCNP were inconsistent with t he data for sampling which atomic shell t he electron is bound. The data are provided in probability density function (PDF) format, whereas MCNP sampled the data as if they are in a cumulative density function (CDF) format, leading to erroneous results.
This paper analyzes the various types of continuous wave and pulse modulation for the transmission of sampled data over channels perturbed by white gaussian noise. Optimal coherent synchronous detection schemes for all the different modulation methods are shown to belong to one of two general classes: linear synchronous detection and correlation detection. The figures of merit, mean-square signal-to-error ratio and bandwidth occupancy, are determined for each system and compared.
Examination of simple coordinate transformations in Z-plane and W-plane for root locus analysis of sampled data systems
Popov-type sufficient conditions are presented for the absolute stability of a class of closed loop sampled-data systems. The closed loop system consists of a linear distributed element, a feedback controller (linear or nonlinear), a sampler, and possibly a zero-order hold circuit. The distributed element is assumed to be finite Hankel transformable, and such that its dynamics can be represented by a transfer function which is the ratio of the multiple (Laplace and finite Hankel) transforms of output and input. The input is assumed to be distributed. The stability criterion presented here parallels the criterion for distributed systems that are finite Fourier transformable. An example is given to illustrate the applications of the stability criterion.
Based upon new identities between z-transforms at a basis rate, z-transforms at faster rates, and modified z-transforms, the equivalence between the frequency decomposition method and the switch decomposition method is precisely presented so that results of one method are easily obtained from results of the other. Next, a method is developed for determining the closed loop transfer function of multiloop, multirate sampled-data systems with noninteger ratio sampling rates. Previously, this process involved solving a complex system of equations with rational polynomial coefficients. Herein, this is avoided by introducing a systematic decomposition of matrix operators which naturally arise from the switch decomposition method. The matrix operators are simplified by introducing the shifted transforms of signals sampled at one of the faster rates.
A global lunar mass-balance model for Th based on Lunar Prospector gamma-ray and lunar sample data is presented within the context of major crustal terranes. The consequences of strong enrichment of Th in the Procellarum KREEP Terrane are discussed.
Specification of the mathematical equations required to define the dynamic response of a linear continuous plant, subject to sampled data control, is complicated by the fact that the digital components of the control system cannot be modeled via linear ordinary differential equations. This complication can be overcome by introducing two new mathematical operations; namely, the operation of zero order hold and digial delay. It is shown that by direct utilization of these operations, a set of linear mixed operation equations can be written and used to define the dynamic response characteristics of the controlled system. It also is shown how these linear mixed operation equations lead, in an automatable manner, directly to a set of finite difference equations which are in a format compatible with follow on time and frequency domain analysis methods.
Earlier continuous time averaging theorems are extended to the nonlinear discrete time case. Theorems for the study of the convergence analysis of discrete time adaptive identification and control systems are used. Instability theorems are also derived and used for the study of robust stability and instability of adaptive control schemes applied to sampled data systems. As a by product, the effects of sampling on unmodeled dynamics in continuous time systems are also studied.
A FORTRAN digital computer program which performs the general analysis of linearized control systems is described. State variable techniques are used to analyze continuous, discrete, and sampled data systems. Analysis options include the calculation of system eigenvalues, transfer functions, root loci, root contours, frequency responses, power spectra, and transient responses for open- and closed-loop systems. A flexible data input format allows the user to define systems in a variety of representations. Data may be entered by inputing explicit data matrices or matrices constructed in user written subroutines, by specifying transfer function block diagrams, or by using a combination of these methods.
