Digital Analysis of the Delay-Lock Discriminator.
Abstract
The Delay Discriminator, an Optimum Tracking Device, is under current
study as a new space tracking system. The transient analysis of this
system requires the solution to a non-linear second-order differential
equation. The Delay-Lock principle is first explained and the implimentation
of this principle is described. Analysis of the system is discussed
and a method of digital phase-plane solution is shown. Computer Flow
Diagrams and Fortran Source Programs are fully described. With out the
aid of a high speed digital computer, the analysis of this system would
be difficult, tedious, and inaccurate.
