Motivation for an External Stage • Isolation • From the micro-seismic peak to 10 Hz • Alignment • Seasonal Temperature Changes • Control Reallocation • Reduce control effort / noise from inner stages • High Impedance Support • Inner stages react against stiff, damped foundation
Performance Requirements • Range of Motion • Mechanical Adjustment: 5 mm. • Active Control: +/- 1 mm. • Response • Initial Response: 1 mm. in 10 sec. • Bandwidth: .1 - 10 Hz. • Resolution and Noise • Reduce the ground motion by 10 from 0.1 to 3 Hz
