CERN TECHNICAL TRAINING 2002: LEARNING FOR THE LHC !
- FEED-2002 -
Analogue and Digital Techniques in Closed Loop Regulation Applications
FEED-2002 is composed of two terms, and of an open Introductory Lecture. Attendance to the Introductory Lecture is a prerequisite to the participation to both terms. All sessions will take place on Tuesdays afternoons in the Training Centre Auditorium, from 14h30 to 17h00. The course will be in English, with questions and answers also in French.
Introductory Lecture: AD/DA Conversion Techniques - An Overview
Technical Training Seminar, 17 September 2002 (free attendance, no registration required)
Lecturer: John Pett, SL-PO
Programme: The modern Analogue to Digital (AD) and Digital to Analogue (DA) conversion methods. Digital representations of time-varying, real-world analogue signals, with some CERN applications. Conversion methods and limitations; error sources and measurements. Review of the recent technological progresses.
Fall 1 Term: FEED-2002 - Analogue Techniques
24 September - 22 October 2002, 5 lectures (attendance cost: 50.- CHF, registration required)
Lecturer: Guy Baribaud, SL-BI
Programme: Continuous linear systems: Classical, single-input/single-output systems; time domain analysis, Laplace transforms, characteristics of first and second order systems. Stability issues. Multi-variable linear systems, controllability and observability.
Fall 2 Term: FEED-2002 - Digital Techniques
5 November - 17 December 2002, 7 lectures (attendance cost: 70.- CHF, registration required)
Lecturers: Guy Baribaud, SL-BI; Frederick Bordry, SL-PO
Programme: Sampled linear systems: Sampling issues, Z and W transforms. Single-input/single-output linear systems stability. Multi variable sampled systems. The digital control system of the LHC power converters.
FEED-2002 is open to all people interested. It is also possible to attend to the second Term only, with the Introductory Lecture and some sessions of the first Term as prerequisites. Participation to all sessions in a term is encouraged, to allow people profit at most from the course, and attendance will be recorded in the personal training records.
More information, online registration and detailed programme are available on the FEED-2002 web page.
