Development of New Methods and Applications of Analog Computation: I - An Experimental Electronic Generalized Integrator; II - Nonstationary Noise for Monte Carlo Studies
Quarterly progress report (September–December 1961) for NASA Contract NAS8-2473, covering two research tasks at the Georgia Tech Analog Computer Laboratory. Part I describes the design and construction of an all-electronic Generalized Integrator capable of integrating analog voltage signals with respect to arbitrary variables, including circuit diagrams for threshold detectors and sampling gates. Part II analyzes techniques for generating nonstationary noise voltages for use in analog-computer Monte Carlo studies, with particular focus on nonstationary shaping of Gaussian band-limited white noise using variable and separated linear networks.
