In the first part, two classes of rational approximation of ideal
delay function e[superscript]⁻s (Bessel and Binomial) are studied and the step
responses of both approximations are compared. Hazony's RC-active
delay circuit for different values of k are investigated. The comparison
of the step responses of this circuit and the...
This paper is a study of the procedures used in achieving element
reduction in networks realized from a given network function.
Reduction in the number of elements in RC-realization is possible
in the synthesis of a transfer function and in the simultaneous realization
of driving-point function and a transfer function,...
One of the most promising methods of constructing bandpass
filters without inductors is the RC digital filter. It is simply a number
of parallel RC branches which are sequentially switched between
the source and the load. If the source signal is at the same frequency
as the switching rate of...
Corrosion of reinforcement is recognized as the predominant factor that limits the service life of reinforced concrete (RC) structures exposed to aggressive environments. This corrosion deterioration can lead to damage resulting in capacity loss or even failure. For structures exposed to coastal marine environments or deicing or anti-icing applications, this...
