Download Circuit Simulation with Inductors and Transformers Based on the Jiles-Atherton Model of Magnetization The sound of a vacuum tube guitar amplifier may be significantly influenced by the non-linear behavior of its output transformer, which therefore should also be considered in digital simulations. In this work, we develop a model for inductors and transformers with the magnetization following the model of Jiles and Atherton. For this purpose, the original magnetization model is rewritten to a differential equation with respect to time which can then easily be integrated into a previously developed circuit simulation framework. The model thus derived is then exercised in the simulation of three simple circuits where it shows the expected behavior.
Download Signal-Matched Power-Complementary Cross-Fading and Dry-Wet Mixing The blending of audio signals, called cross-fading, is a very common task in audio signal processing. Therefore, digital audio workstations offer several fading curves to select from. The choice of the fading curve typically depends on the signal characteristics and is supposed to result in a mixed signal featuring power and loudness close to the input signals. This work derives a correlationbased design of the fading curves to achieve exact power consistency to avoid audible fluctuations of the signal’s loudness. This principle is extended to the problem of mixing original signals with effect-processed signals using the dry-wet balance. Weighting coefficients for dry and wet signals are derived which realize the desired dry-wet balance but maintain the signal power.
