INTRODUCTION During isometric voluntary contractions of a healthy human muscle, motoneurons (MNs) fire usually with low mean rates, rarely exceeding 25/s (e.g., Garland and Griffin, 1999). However, there are MNs, which sometimes fire double discharges (doublets) with interspike interval (ISI) of few ms. This is observed seldom in normal MNs (e.g., Denslow, 1948; Kudina, 1974; Bawa and Calancie,...

BAWA, GAURAV. Switched-Capacitor Filter Based Type-III Compensation for VoltageMode Control of Switched-Mode Buck Converters. (Under the direction of Dr. Alex Q. Huang). In this dissertation, we propose a novel technique for the voltage-mode control of switchedmode fixed-frequency Buck Converters using Switched-Capacitor Filters (SCF). The salient features of the analog sampled-data Type-III fi...
