Linear time-delay circuit and stabilizing controller

This paper is concerned with a linear time-delay circuit and its feedback control. We use electronic components such as resistors and capacitors to realize a linear time-delay system. The time-delays are generated by operational amplifiers and single-chip microcomputers. Based on the actual data measured by the oscilloscope, the parameters of the system are estimated using the least square method. Then a comparison study between the waveform image measured by the oscilloscope and the numerical simulation obtained by MATLAB verifies the effectiveness of the parameters estimations of the circuit system. Furthermore, the circuit system is unstable with a large time-delay, a feedback controller is designed to stabilize the circuit system using the optimization method in the literature. Finally, the experimental results in the linear time-delay circuit show the effectiveness of the optimization method.
