The processing device controls the signal generator and processes measured values picked up from the measuring points.

The network analyzer implements measurements on the device using simultaneously, exactly three measuring points. The processing device determines measured values in each case of a fourth measuring point on the basis of the calibration measurements and the measured values of the three measuring points.

Abstract: In a controller-assisted device for determining a characteristic of a compensation element in a level control circuit, the compensation element is serially mounted inside the level control circuit for a high-frequency signal (S<SB>HF</SB>) in a signal channel with respect to said signal channel. The characteristic of the compensation element has a characteristic which the inverse of the non-linear transmission characteristic of the signal channel in the event of ideal compensation. In the controller-assisted method for the determination of a characteristic of the compensation element in a level control circuit, each ordinate value of the characteristic of the compensation element arises, in the event of a bridged compensation element, from the corrective signal value (Pastel) which is adjusted at a signal level of the level reference signal (Pref) in the adjusted level control circuit, corresponding to the associated abscissa value of the characteristic of the compensation element.

Abstract: The boundary layer flow along the surface of an aircraft rudder assembly is controlled by suction applied through perforations primarily installed in the leading edge of the rudder assembly. The control is such that a laminar flow is enforced or at least such that any turbulent flow is displaced so that it begins downstream of the rudder assembly leading edge. Suction air chambers are arranged along the leading edge inside a nose box of the rudder assembly and these boxes are connected through air ducts and a valve system to an exhaust fan. The valve system and the exhaust fan are controlled by a central processing unit providing a flow controller for the suction in response to control signals produced from rated values and sensed actual valves to provide a uniform distribution of the suction along the leading edge of the rudder assembly. The suction system may be switched over to a de-icing mode by blowing warm air out through the perforations in a controlled manner.
