TSYPKIN, SOVIET SPEGIALIST ON AUTOMATIC REGULATION CLASSIFICATION CONFIDENTIAL Gp~FOp~P~'~rA CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY REPOR INFORMATION FROM FOREIGN DOCUMENTS OR RADIO BROADCASTS CD N0. Many well-known scientists -- engineers, professors, radio specialists and Stalin Prize Laureates -- have come from the ranks of radio amateurs. Among many others, we might mention A. L. Mints, Ye. N. Genishta, Z. M. Model', and S. V. Novakovakiy. This was the path chosen by Professor Yakov Z. Taypkin, Doctor of Tech- nical Sciences. He is now only 30 years old; yet, is speaking of Tsypkin's doctor's thesis, Academician Andronov called him one of the greatest Soviet scientists working in the theory of regulation. i Tsypkin was born and. educated under Soviet rule. Hie father was a lock- smith. From childhood on, Taypkin spent every spare moment studying radio techniques and building receivers. He showed his originality in designing a receiver for a wired-radio center. In 1936, he enrolled at the Moscow Institute of Communications Engi- neers, where he had many laboratories at his disposal. He also became a member of the students' scientific society. His abilities won him a Stalin scholarship. At the same time, he decided to make a thorough study of mathe- matics and enrolled in the Mathematics Fcculty of Moscow University. Tsypkin began his first scientific work -- making a graph to calculate microphone circuits -- while attending the third course of the Moscow Insti- tute of Communications Engineers. This work was published in the Students' Scientific and Technical Symposium, of which Taypkia later became editor. In 1941 he received his diploma from the institute with honors. He then turned his attention to one of the branches of radio engineering -- the theory of regulation. He completed his work on this problem in the scien- tific research institute to which he went after finishing college.

While recovering, he worked on his thesis for the Candidate's degree. In 1944, he published other works on radio and electrical engineering, automatics, and telemechanics. Much of his work, as well as his doctor's thesis and a textbook published in 1949, dealt with the theory of inter- mittent regulation. Systems of continuous and intermittent regulation are of especial im- portance in pulse radio techniques and radar. They ere used in almost all branches of indr.stry. Perhaps the most striking instance is in the produc- tion and distribution of electric power. Many of our hyo~~oelectric stat:.ons, including hydraulic turbines and electric generators, are operated by remote control. The control system of the new Moscow Television Center, completed last veer, takes charge oP the whole equipment, including thousands of tubes. Although we have long had methods for computing continuous automatic regulation systems, there were none for intermittent control. Now, however, Professor Tsypkin has developed a new method with simple equations for cal- culating intermittent regulation systems. This young scientist was educated in the radio engineering school founded by the great A. S. Popov, whose traditions he is continuing and developing. GONF9GENT9A~.
