Abstract: A method and system for controlling a scanning system for a paper machine is disclosed. The scanning system includes a first scanner having a first sensor head and a second scanner having a second sensor head and positioned downstream of the first scanner. Proportional integral derivative control maintains the first and second scanners on their corresponding trajectory arrays. The second scanner tracks the same location of the sheet as the first scanner and the first trajectory array is recalculated at each execution cycle.

Abstract: A system for increasing the power efficiency of a balanced amplifier driven antenna arrangement includes a push-pull class B power amplifier circuit which is responsive to a periodic, time varying input signal and generates at least two output signals in response thereto. The arrangement also includes a balanced antenna exhibiting a relatively high impedance at the second harmonic of the input signal. The arrangement further includes at least one transmission line operatively coupled between the power amplifier circuit and the balanced antenna to provide the at least two output signals to the balanced antenna. The at least one transmission line has a length which is one-eighth of the wavelength of the input signal or odd multiples thereof, and thereby reflects back to the power amplifier circuit a substantially short circuit at the second harmonic of the input signal.
