Such harmonic oscillators will be encountered in different fields of physics again and again, for example in electrodynamics (see experiment on electromagnetic resonant circuit) and atomic physics. Therefore it is very important to understand this experiment, especially the importance of the amplitude resonance and phase curves. 2 Theory 2.1 Undamped harmonic oscillator Let us observe a set-up according to Fig. 1, where a sphere of mass mK is vertically suspended (x-direc- tion) on a spring. Let us neglect the effects of friction for the moment. When the sphere is at rest, there is an equilibrium between the force of gravity, which points downwards, and the dragging resilience which points upwards; the centre of the sphere is then in the position x = 0. A deflection of the sphere from its equilibrium position by x causes a proportional dragging force FR opposite to x: (1) FxR ∝− The proportionality constant (elastic or spring constant or directional quantity) is denoted D, and Eq. -
Oscillator Circuit Evaluation Method (2) Steps for Evaluating Oscillator Circuits (Oscillation Allowance and Drive Level)
Technical Notes Oscillator Circuit Evaluation Method (2) Steps for evaluating oscillator circuits (oscillation allowance and drive level) Preface In general, a crystal unit needs to be matched with an oscillator circuit in order to obtain a stable oscillation. A poor match between crystal unit and oscillator circuit can produce a number of problems, including, insufficient device frequency stability, devices stop oscillating, and oscillation instability. When using a crystal unit in combination with a microcontroller, you have to evaluate the oscillator circuit. In order to check the match between the crystal unit and the oscillator circuit, you must, at least, evaluate (1) oscillation frequency (frequency matching), (2) oscillation allowance (negative resistance), and (3) drive level. The previous Technical Notes explained frequency matching. These Technical Notes describe the evaluation methods for oscillation allowance (negative resistance) and drive level. 1. Oscillation allowance (negative resistance) evaluations One process used as a means to easily evaluate the negative resistance characteristics and oscillation allowance of an oscillator circuits is the method of adding a resistor to the hot terminal of the crystal unit and observing whether it can oscillate (examining the negative resistance RN). The oscillator circuit capacity can be examined by changing the value of the added resistance (size of loss). The circuit diagram for measuring the negative resistance is shown in Fig. 1. The absolute value of the negative resistance is the value determined by summing up the added resistance r and the equivalent resistance (Re) when the crystal unit is under load.

Hydraulics Manual Glossary G - 3
Glossary G - 1 GLOSSARY OF HIGHWAY-RELATED DRAINAGE TERMS (Reprinted from the 1999 edition of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Model Drainage Manual) G.1 Introduction This Glossary is divided into three parts: · Introduction, · Glossary, and · References. It is not intended that all the terms in this Glossary be rigorously accurate or complete. Realistically, this is impossible. Depending on the circumstance, a particular term may have several meanings; this can never change. The primary purpose of this Glossary is to define the terms found in the Highway Drainage Guidelines and Model Drainage Manual in a manner that makes them easier to interpret and understand. A lesser purpose is to provide a compendium of terms that will be useful for both the novice as well as the more experienced hydraulics engineer. This Glossary may also help those who are unfamiliar with highway drainage design to become more understanding and appreciative of this complex science as well as facilitate communication between the highway hydraulics engineer and others. Where readily available, the source of a definition has been referenced. For clarity or format purposes, cited definitions may have some additional verbiage contained in double brackets [ ]. Conversely, three “dots” (...) are used to indicate where some parts of a cited definition were eliminated. Also, as might be expected, different sources were found to use different hyphenation and terminology practices for the same words. Insignificant changes in this regard were made to some cited references and elsewhere to gain uniformity for the terms contained in this Glossary: as an example, “groundwater” vice “ground-water” or “ground water,” and “cross section area” vice “cross-sectional area.” Cited definitions were taken primarily from two sources: W.B. -

The Harmonic Oscillator
Appendix A The Harmonic Oscillator Properties of the harmonic oscillator arise so often throughout this book that it seemed best to treat the mathematics involved in a separate Appendix. A.1 Simple Harmonic Oscillator The harmonic oscillator equation dates to the time of Newton and Hooke. It follows by combining Newton’s Law of motion (F = Ma, where F is the force on a mass M and a is its acceleration) and Hooke’s Law (which states that the restoring force from a compressed or extended spring is proportional to the displacement from equilibrium and in the opposite direction: thus, FSpring =−Kx, where K is the spring constant) (Fig. A.1). Taking x = 0 as the equilibrium position and letting the force from the spring act on the mass: d2x M + Kx = 0. (A.1) dt2 2 = Dividing by the mass and defining ω0 K/M, the equation becomes d2x + ω2x = 0. (A.2) dt2 0 As may be seen by direct substitution, this equation has simple solutions of the form x = x0 sin ω0t or x0 = cos ω0t, (A.3) The original version of this chapter was revised: Pages 329, 330, 335, and 347 were corrected.

Forced Oscillation and Resonance
Chapter 2 Forced Oscillation and Resonance The forced oscillation problem will be crucial to our understanding of wave phenomena. Complex exponentials are even more useful for the discussion of damping and forced oscil- lations. They will help us to discuss forced oscillations without getting lost in algebra. Preview In this chapter, we apply the tools of complex exponentials and time translation invariance to deal with damped oscillation and the important physical phenomenon of resonance in single oscillators. 1. We set up and solve (using complex exponentials) the equation of motion for a damped harmonic oscillator in the overdamped, underdamped and critically damped regions. 2. We set up the equation of motion for the damped and forced harmonic oscillator. 3. We study the solution, which exhibits a resonance when the forcing frequency equals the free oscillation frequency of the corresponding undamped oscillator. 4. We study in detail a specific system of a mass on a spring in a viscous fluid. We give a physical explanation of the phase relation between the forcing term and the damping. 2.1 Damped Oscillators Consider first the free oscillation of a damped oscillator. This could be, for example, a system of a block attached to a spring, like that shown in figure 1.1, but with the whole system immersed in a viscous fluid. Then in addition to the restoring force from the spring, the block 37 38 CHAPTER 2. FORCED OSCILLATION AND RESONANCE experiences a frictional force.

Preventing Gan Device VHF Oscillation APEC 2017
Preventing GaN Device VHF Oscillation APEC 2017 Zan Huang, Jason Cuadra APEC 2017 | 1 Parasitic oscillation • Parasitic oscillation can occur in any switching circuit with fast- changing voltage and current that stimulate a parasitic LC network • The oscillation becomes sustained when positive feedback with gain is present • The feedback could be through parasitic capacitance, parasitic inductance, shared or coupling inductance, etc. • Together with the device gain in the linear region, creates an oscillator • Preventing oscillation in fast-switching GaN devices is more challenging than in silicon due to • Faster dv/dt and di/dt • Higher transconductance • Violent sustained VHF oscillation (50-200MHz) will cause destruction APEC 2017 | 2 Sustained oscillation • In a half-bridge circuit with high speed devices on both the high and low side, there are three steps that yield sustained oscillation on the high-side device during low-side device turn-on, and vice versa Note: Sustained oscillation can occur even in a single-ended circuit, with very fast switching, e.g. a boost converter using a FET+diode; the analysis is similar to a half-bridge APEC 2017 | 3 Step 1: VGS change due to high dv/dt • During low-side turn-on, the high-side FET is subjected to a large positive dv/dt, which couples through CGD to increase VGS, (“Miller effect”) reducing its off-voltage margin against gate threshold VTH • To counter this, Transphorm devices are designed with a low ratio of CGD to CGS to minimize the Miller effect APEC 2017 | 4 Step 2: VGS change due
