Fast amplitude control of harmonic oscillators
Abstract
In high-precision harmonic oscillators control loops stabilize the amplitude of oscillation. Analysis of oscillators with conventional amplitude control results in a fundamental relationship between amplitude response time and nonlinearity of oscillation. Design rules for optimized conventional controllers are developed. A considerable improvement of the amplitude response is achieved by use of sampling techniques in the amplitude control loop. The response time is reduced from 100 .
