Abstract

A special purpose electronic analog computer has been built. A preliminary trial of the computer brought attention to several minor circuit difficulties such as inaccuracy of frequency tracking, and noise and crosstalk between two similar information channels. Changes have been made to render some of these defects less serious. A =10 dB reduction of the dynamic range limitation imposed by combined noise and cross talk has been realized. Additional improvements are being considered. Mechanical impedances of a previously studied structure were measured, using the computer. Comparison of the results with data obtained earlier shows good agreement although the frequency tracking error is in evidence. The automatic computing system re solved features of the impedance characteristics of the system that were previously overlooked.
