Design Guide for Fluidic Laminar Proportional Amplifiers and Laminar Jet Angular Rate Sensors

Abstract

This report provides technical information on the design, performance, and fabrication of fluidic laminar proportional amplifiers and laminar jet angular rate sensors (LJAR's). Standard amplifier designs and formats are presented which allow the use to select amplifier characteristics most suitable for each specific application. Various methods for fabricating elements are described, and information relating to the effects of fabrication inaccuracies are presented in this report. The LJARS is described, and the advantages of applying laminar fluidics to the vast field of sensors is shown. Several circuit arrangements and the performance achieved with these circuits are presented. Charts and other reference material are also included.
