THE ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS OF RC SYNCHRONOUS NETWORKS

Abstract

A major problem in the field of a-c control systems is the synthesis of suitable electrical compensating networks which operate on the envelopes of modulated signals. Classical time-variant compensating networks suffer from a number of disadvantages. RC synchronous networks in which the basic reactive elements are synchronously-switched capacitances whose current polarities reverse periodically at twice the carrier frequency overcome these drawbacks. Although successful single capacitance synchronous networks have been constructed an exact theory upon which a logical synthesis procedure can be based has been lacking. A unified theory of analysis and synthesis of RC synchronous networks is presented. The theory leading to a rigorous procedure for synthesizing an RC synchronous network which realizes a prescribed envelope voltage transfer function is developed. (Author)
