  • Patent number: 5590418
    Abstract: A gain stabilization loop performs discrete time adjustments to the RF amplifier forward gain path of a closed-loop transmitter power control system based on a measurement of the gain in the control loop. The stabilization of the RF amplifier gain allows the transmitter's control loop to remain functional over varying gain Conditions which are prevalent within stages of the RF amplifier gain path. The effects of gain changes within the stages due to part-to-part variations. and temperature effects are minimized or eliminated by this gain trimming.

  • Patent number: 5207379
    Abstract: A controller having two cascaded PID control loops in the control of unit ventilators of the type which have a heating coil, a fan, and a damper for admitting outside air into a room in which the unit ventilator is located. The controller utilizes the sensed room temperature and a room temperature set point to generate a set point for the temperature of the air being discharged from the unit ventilator, and utilizes the discharge temperature set point and the sensed discharge temperature to control the damper position and the operation of the heating coils of the unit ventilator.
