Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL) simulation and testing is a cutting-edge methodology that integrates actual power system components with high-fidelity computational models. This approach creates a ...

Hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) refers to testing a component while embedding it in one or more of its likely environments. These environments are represented virtually by computer models. The tested ...

Flight simulations make a significant contribution to the development and assessment of new aircraft systems. The Institute of Flight Systems uses specialised simulation methods to realistically model ...

Loop analysis of analog and mixed-signal discontinuous systems, such as PLLs, delta-sigma converters, switched-capacitor filters, PWM amplifiers, and switch-mode power supplies, presents a unique ...

Some brief theory and typical measurements of phase noise. Standard analysis of PLL phase noise used by most CAD applications. How to produce the lowest phase noise at a PLL output. A standard design ...

How Stable is your Op Amp or FDA design? One of the most important aspects of any end system design is to understand and improve (if necessary) the nominal phase margin for each stage. Since the early ...

High-fidelity simulations of dynamic embedded systems can be invaluable. This follow-up to “Modeling Dynamic Systems” (August 2000) presents some techniques and algorithms you might find useful. In a ...

DETROIT ARSENAL—The Center for Army Analysis has given two of its prestigious Modeling & Simulation awards to the U.S. Army DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center. Both awards, in the team category—one ...
