Abstract:

The report discusses the design and staging of a laminar flueric proportional amplifier with a pressure gain greater than 15, a dynamic range of over 1000, and a bandwidth ranging from 100 to 1000 Hz depending on the supply pressure. By scaling with Reynolds number based on channel depth, several of these elements have been connected in series to form a three-stage, open-loop gain block with a pressure gain greater than 1000, a dynamic range of over 400, and a bandwidth greater than 100 Hz. The output of the amplifier itself and of the gain block has a flat saturation characteristics.
