The Matsuoka oscillator has been used to control various robots that perform rhythmic movements. The oscillator-driven control system usually takes a feedback structure. While the oscillator actuates some part of a controlled object, some state variable of the object is fed back to the oscillator. An important property of this control scheme is that the oscillator comes to drive the object at i...

We applied a new approach to obtain natural frequency of the nonlinear oscillator with discontinuity. He’s Hamiltonian approach is modified for nonlinear oscillator with discontinuity for which the elastic force term is proportional to sgn u . We employed this method for higherorder approximate solution of the nonlinear oscillator equation. This property is used to obtain approximate frequency-...

The phase reduction method for a limit cycle oscillator subjected to a strong amplitude-modulated high-frequency force is developed. An equation for the phase dynamics is derived by introducing a new, effective phase response curve. We show that if the effective phase response curve is everywhere positive (negative), then an entrainment of the oscillator to an envelope frequency is possible onl...

As data communication rates climb toward ten Gbls, clock recovery and synchronization become more dificult, if not impossible, using conventional electronic circuits. We present in this article experimental results of a high speed clock and carrier recovery using a novel device called the photonic oscillator that we recently developed in our laboratory. T h i s device is capable of recovering c...

A CMOS standard three-stage ring oscillator is examined in UMC 0.13 m technologies. As the ring oscillator is a part of IR-UWB (Impulse Radio Ultra Wide Band) pulse generator, its oscillating frequency determines the central frequency of the pulse spectrum and has significant effect on spectrum fitting within UWB FCC mask. The influence of inverter feedback resistors on the ring oscillator freq...

Recent commercial developments in the optical fiber industry have raised the possibility of supplying the local oscillator signal for the MMA by generating two optical signals differing in frequency by the required local oscillator frequency. These two optical signals may then be transmitted over a single optical fiber to each antenna. Within the receiver dewar, the two optical signals are mixe...
