One of the main benefits of negative feedback is the ability to control the impedances in linear active networks (LANs). Traditionally in undergraduate courses, the design of a feedback circuit is cast in terms of a two-port analysis, since the closed-loop properties of the circuit are expressed in terms of the corresponding open-loop ones. Therefore, the designer can directly identify the proper feedback topology and adjust the amount of feedback based on the specified closed-loop performances. However, there are practical situations in which a two-port analysis may lead to incorrect results if applied inappropriately or cannot be applied at all. In this paper, the authors show how it is possible to achieve a better insight of these problems in the light of Blackman's method. Moreover, after a derivation of the formula as a consequence of the superposition principle applied to a LAN, they discuss, with reference to some typical examples, the conditions that must be met for the correct application of the two-port method.

A method of analysis has been developed for feedback systems employing commutated networks in the forward loop and linear transfer functions in the feedback loop. The method handles single-phase and polyphase commutated networks as well as coupled and uncoupled networks. Although commutated networks are linear from the superposition theory viewpoint, linear feedback theory is shown to be not applicable because of the harmonics present in the feedback loop. Techniques for simplifying the analysis of commutated networks by the use of equivalent block diagrams provide additional insights into commutated network operation.

This paper describes SPICE [1] simulation techniques that can be used to find the return ratios for the differential and common-mode feedback loops in balanced, fully differential circuits, Since each of these loops may contain multiple feedback paths, conditions under which these two return ratios are sufficient for determining stability of the balanced feedback circuit are described, To allow the use of these techniques with switched-capacitor common-mode feedback circuits, a special simulation technique is presented that finds the de bias for the return-ratio simulations.

A few structures for digital sinusoidal oscillators have been proposed, together with the design methods used for such structures. Because of the finite wordlength effects, these structures produce high roundoff errors which change both the amplitude and frequency of the generated sinusoidal signal. This makes it difficult to design an oscillator which generates a sinusoidal waveform with a particular frequency and amplitude. It is shown in this paper that if we add to the direct form digital oscillator a circuit which saves the quantization error and feeds it back for consideration at subsequent iterations, roundoff errors are considerably reduced, and the frequency and amplitude of the generated waveform are very close to those expected by theory. Formulas are derived for the resulting errors and simulation results are given, showing that a significant improvement is obtained by error feedback.

Negative feedback is known to enable biological and man-made systems to perform reliably in the face of uncertainties and disturbances. To date, synthetic biological feedback circuits have primarily relied upon protein-based, transcriptional regulation to control circuit output. Small RNAs (sRNAs) are non-coding RNA molecules that can inhibit translation of target messenger RNAs (mRNAs). In this work, we modelled, built and validated two synthetic negative feedback circuits that use rationally-designed sRNAs for the first time. The first circuit builds upon the well characterised tet-based autorepressor, incorporating an externally-inducible sRNA to tune the effective feedback strength. This allows more precise fine-tuning of the circuit output in contrast to the sigmoidal, steep input-output response of the autorepressor alone. In the second circuit, the output is a transcription factor that induces expression of an sRNA, which inhibits translation of the mRNA encoding the output, creating direct, closed-loop, negative feedback. Analysis of the noise profiles of both circuits showed that the use of sRNAs did not result in large increases in noise. Stochastic and deterministic modelling of both circuits agreed well with experimental data. Finally, simulations using fitted parameters allowed dynamic attributes of each circuit such as response time and disturbance rejection to be investigated.

Constrained nonlinear iterative algorithms for signal restoration and reconstruction from zero crossings or clipped signals have a common structure of iterations and can be written as an infinite nonlinear operator series. This operator series corresponds to an analog nonlinear positive feedback circuit: the signal transformation, after an infinite number of iterations, is equivalent to the signal obtained by passing through the nonlinear instantaneous positive-feedback analog circuit. The corresponding structures of the feedback circuits for two reconstruction algorithms are presented. This interpretation offers interesting possibilities for real time signal reconstruction.

This talk deals with the biological roles of feedback loops and their combinations. It has progressively become clear that a negative loop is a necessary (not sufficient) condition for a stable periodic behaviour and that a positive loop is a necessary (not sufficient) condition for multistationarity. Of these old conjectures (e.g. Stud. phys. theor. Chem. 28, 307 (1983)), the second has now two formal demonstrations by others (Plahte et al., Snoussi). Here, we remark that this statement can be generalised as follows. The presence of a positive loop (in the Jacobian matrix of the system) is a necessary condition for having at least one real positive root in the characteristic equation (this can be shown to directly derive from the Descartes rule) and at least one real positive root in turn is a necessary condition for multistationarity.

feedback circuits have been designed and tested which reduce the component of a fluctuating magnetic field normal to a square coil. These circuits, when placed in an array covering a toroidal plasma, may be a practical alternative to a perfectly conducting shell for stabilizing resistive wall modes.

This paper aims to show how complex nonlinear dynamic systems can be classified, analyzed and synthesized in terms of feedback circuits. The Rossler equations for deterministic chaos are revisited and generalized in this perspective. It is shown that once a proper set of feedback circuits is present in the Jacobian matrix of the system, the chaotic character of trajectories is remarkably robust versus changes in the nature of the nonlinearities. "Labyrinth chaos", whereby simple differential systems generate large lattices of many unstable steady states embedded in a chaotic attractor, is constructed using this technique. In the limit case of a single three-element circuit without diagonal elements, one finds systems possessing an infinite lattice of unstable steady states between which trajectories percolate in a deterministic chaotic way.

This paper attempts to describe a new method by which periodic signals in noise can be detected easily without the aid of an expensive correlator. In principle, the circuit consists of a delay network which is inserted as a part of a unidirectional loop connected with the main circuit through a hybrid coil. The delay time must be equal to, or an integral multiple of, the signal period to be detected. The delay time also must be longer than the inverse figure of the preceding network bandwidth. Successive noises will be superimposed one after another at random in circulation, while the signals are superimposed in phase. This means an improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio. Theoretically, the ideal basic delayed feedback circuit gives an improvement in the snr of 7.66 db, and in the apparent Q of 9.06. Further improvement can be expected by the use of active circuits. Possible applications are for producing artificial reverberation, a narrow-band filter, and a short-time memory circuit. The response of the delayed feedback circuit is like a comb filter. The circuit also can extract complicated periodic waves without an appreciable distortion.
