Data processing hardware was tested in order to determine the sources of channel time delay differences and mathematically characterize the differences. A procedure developed to detect and correct these delay differences was subjected to test data in order to verify its capability. Test results are presented.
A power regulation system incorporating n-parallel power supplies employing PWM switching regulators is studied. Analysis of individual unit operation and coupled-system parameter sensitivity is considered from an operations viewpoint. A detailed example is included to illustrate parallel system operation for 18 such units powered by solar-cell banks.
A comprehensive simulation and analysis performed on the operation of the regulator part of the Charger/Battery/Regulator Module (CBRM) are detailed. The CBRM is utilized as an integral component of the Skylab/Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) electrical power system and contains a switching mode electronic regulator. Implementing circuit analysis techniques, pertinent voltages and currents are calculated; these, in turn, are incorporated into the regulator system study. Investigation of the turn-on and turn-off times associated with the switching circuitry is performed and an examination is made on these calculations. A simulation model computer program is utilized to generate graphs that relate various CBRM parameters to one another.
