Tager, Doctor of Technical Sciences.
Kreytser commented on the inadequacy of existing methods for investi-
gating and evaluating the nonlinearity of ronacoustic signals, which are based
on harmonic analysis in application to amplifiers of these signals. He introduced
characteristics of nonlinearity (the subject of investigation) for examination
and described a new method. He proposed to divide distortions into two cate-
gories (first and second order), which allowed extention of methods for examin-
ing properties of amplifiers to some other types of equipment. To investigate
nonlinear distortions of the first order, Kreytter proposed use of a periodic
triangular saw-toothed signal with its subsequent differentiation, while he ex-
amined some partial cases of second-order nonlinearity and proposed methods for
investigating them. He described universal measuring apparatus developed and
built nn the basis of the proposed methods and oscillograms produced by it which
confirmed the theoretical conclusions cited.

Official
opponents: S. A. Lebe:iev Member. Academy of Sciences Ukrainian SSR;Professo
P. S. Zhdanov, Doctor of Technical Sciences; and Professor B. N. Petrov, Doctor
of Technical Sciences,
Goldfarb described a method for solving problems of stationary motions
in nonlinear regulation systems, using the concept of equivalent impedance of a
nonlinear element and determining its value for n number of nonlinearities wh?ch
are often encountered in regulation circuits. The principle of the method is
separation of the nonlinear element of a system and separate plotting of the im-
pedance characteristic of the nonlinear element and the amplitude-phase character-
istic of the linear part of the system. The point where the characteristics in-
tersect determines the conditions of self-induced oscillations in the system, their
frequency, and amrlitude, The plotting of characteristics also makes it possible to
investigate the problem of stability of motion. The proposed method is distinguished
by its simplicity and its graphic nature, making it easily applicable in practice
to calculations of systems described by differential equations of any order, Gol -
dfarb carried out an analysis of regulation systems with nonlinear elements of zero
and nonzero order and examined the influence of parameters on frequency and ampli-
tude of self-induced oscillations in nonlinear systems with vibration regulators.
He cited experimental results of investigations of self-induced oscillations in
some regulation systems, Calculated and experimental results correspond closely.

crete recommendations for the selection of their dimensions. Komar thoroughly
analyzed the operation of a rectifier with semiconductor cells under different

mathematical Sciences; Professor L. D. Rozenberg, Doctor of Technical Sciences;
and Professor S. E. Khaykin, Doctor of Physicomathematical Sciences.

for analytical electroacoustics which was developed as a general theory of acous-
tic apparatus which electromechanically transduces audio-frequency oscillations.
Using general methods and relationships, he investigated a number of partial cases

electric transducers).
Katayev, S. I. -- "Problem of Obtaining Electric Pulses of Arbitrary Form"
(defended 12 April 1951). Official opponents: Professor S. E. Khaykin, Doctor
of Physicomathematical Sciences; Professor Yu. B. Kobzarev, Doctor of Technical
Sciences; and Professor L. I. Cutenmakher, Doctor of Technical Sciences.
Katayev investigated the possibility of using the nonlinearity of volt-
ampere characteristics of different elements i_i an electric circuit. It was dem-
onstrated that graphite and carbon (karbovidnyy) resistors can be used only in
the simplest cases, while ferromagnetic elements have more general properties.
Katayev described an original method for generating a given voltage wave form with
the help of a ferromagnetic system as well as a method for using a frequency modu-
lated exciter. He investigated the elementary pulse forms necessary to produce
the resultant wave form. The results of the research, which show the feasibility
of replacing the given wave with a fragmentary broken wave which can be created
from elementary trapezoidal and triangular pulses, can be used not only for the
apparatus described in the dissertation but also for other types. Katayev de-
scribed and investigated an original apparatus (an equivalent circuit of a long-
distance communication line) based on the analogy with electromagnetic induction
phenomena in long-distance electric power transmission lines. On the basis of
this concept, different variants of the apparatus were developed for obtaining a
generator of a controllable wave form, and the theory behind them was set forth.
Katayev solved the problem of generating pulses of the given form by setting up
capacitances by the given law along an artificial line.

Kolosov, A. A. -- "Resonance Systems and Resonance Amplifiers" (defended
29 June 1950). Official opponents: Professor In. B. Kobzarev, Professor N. N.
Krylov, and N. I. Chistyakov (all Doctors of Technical Sciences).
Kolosov examined the problem of the maximum-frequency band which can be
obtained at a given degree of amplification in different types of tuned amplifiers.
He proved that for any type there is a maximum band for any given degree of ampli-
fication, as well as a maximum degree of amplification for a given band which can-
not be exceeded, no matter how many stages are used. For maximum amplification,
there is an optimum number of stages. Kolosov examined the question of selecting
parameters for multistage amplifiers, starting from stability of the band width
and the magnitude of amplification at the initial tuning frequency. He estab-
lished a value for acceptable deviation of capacitances from their average value.
He determined analytically the noise band of a multistage amplifier. Kolosov
presented for the first time appropriate formulas to replace inconvenient graphi-
cal constructions. He investigated amplifier stability from the point of view
of feedback, as well as the problem of minimum amplifier noise factor.
