An Improved Electronic Analog Computing Circuit

Abstract

An improved electronic analog computing circuit, employing only two vacuum tubes and characterized by both simplicity and accuracy of computation, is described and analyzed. The theoretical error is calculated for integration, differentiation, and constant multiplication with step-function and sine-wave forms of excitation. The results of a cursory experiment, made to evaluate the performance of the improved circuit functioning as a differentiator, agree with the theoretical results. The details of the circuit analysis are included in an appendix.
