The proposed calculation method avoids the inaccuracies that were allowed by previously used approaches and offers engineers simple formulas that are convenient for use in real projects.

Phase-locked loop systems are widely used in satellite navigation and wireless communication devices. They provide precise synchronization of the frequency and phase of the signal coming to the device and the signal generated by the device itself. For example, in the case of a Wi-Fi connection between a router and a phone, the signals from the devices may differ slightly due to interference or instability of the transmitter (router). The phase-locked loop system compares the characteristics of the incoming signal and adjusts them to those characteristic of the device. This reduces the number of errors in the transmission of information, even if the original signal is “noisy”.

Research results, supported with a grant from the Russian Science Foundation (RSF), published in a scientific journal IEEE Access.

However, phase-locked loop systems operate stably only if a number of conditions are met. For example, there are limitations on the so-called hold range, the frequency difference at which synchronization can still be maintained. Another important parameter is the capture range, i.e. the frequency spectrum within which synchronization is guaranteed under any initial conditions. At the same time, it is difficult to accurately determine the capture range, since its calculation requires solving systems of nonlinear equations with a large number of variables. Previously, engineers used approximate methods that could lead to errors, and therefore did not always ensure stable operation of the system.

Researchers from St. Petersburg University analyzed operation of one of the most common phase-locked loop systems and found a simpler way to accurately calculate its capture range. To do this, scientists from St. Petersburg State University used a mathematical method of replacing variables, which allows equations used in other approaches to be reduced to a simpler form. In addition, the researchers used graphs to display how the state of the phase-locked loop system changes over time when transmitting and receiving signals with different parameters (frequencies and phases).

We have proposed a comprehensive approach that combines qualitative analysis of the system and the theory of hidden oscillations, the creation and development of which was this year. was noted State Prize of the Russian Federation in the field of science and technology.

Head of the Department of Applied Cybernetics at St. Petersburg State University, Head of the Laboratory of Information and Control Systems at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Professor Nikolay Kuznetsov

"This approach allowed us to obtain an accurate formula for the capture range and avoid a situation where the device unexpectedly loses synchronization, which can be critical in the case of systems used in navigation and energy. In the future, we plan to develop methods of the theory of hidden oscillations for the analysis of more complex phase-locked loop systems and collaborate with engineers to create prototypes of such systems based on the proposed methods of analysis and synthesis. The relevance of this work is associated with the import substitution program in Russian electronics and a wide range of engineering applications," explained Nikolai Kuznetsov, Head of the Department of Applied Cybernetics at St. Petersburg State University, Head of the Laboratory of Information and Control Systems at the Institute of Mechanics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Professor.

The derived formulas made it possible to correct inaccuracies previously proposed approaches, in particular ignoring hidden oscillations that can lead to loss of synchronization. Computer modeling confirmed that the calculations accurately describe the real behavior of the automatic frequency control system, which makes them suitable for practical use.

Students of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade of SPbPU defended a comprehensive final qualification work in the format of "Final Qualification Work as a Project" to solve real production and management problems of the customer – JSC "Power Machines".

Three students majoring in Management, International Logistics, divided the tasks among themselves as follows: Darya Snigireva considered the issues of developing fast purchases through the implementation and adaptation of marketplaces, and Maria Shapova dealt with illiquid assets: working with unloading, organizing unscheduled inventories, creating a pricing system. Both girls were advised by Nikita Lukashevich, Associate Professor of the Higher School of Industrial Management. Yana Salangina took on the transformation of the enterprise's warehouse accounting and the development of recommendations for improving the management of the warehouse complex (consultant – Zoya Simakova, Associate Professor of the Higher School of Industrial Management).

The main task of the student of the "Trade" direction, profile "Logistics systems in trade", Ekaterina Rakcheeva was to develop a procurement training system and fill the "Knowledge Base" of the enterprise. Ekaterina was advised by Associate Professor of the Higher School of Service and Trade Irina Kapustina. The overall assessment of the effectiveness of the developed activities was made by a student of the "Economics" direction, profile "Economics and management at the enterprise", Anna Myasnikova (consultant – Professor of the Higher School of Engineering and Economics Svetlana Suloeva). The project was supervised by Senior Lecturer of the Higher School of Industrial Management, the ideologist of the implementation of the complex final qualifying work on the part of the Polytechnic University Egor Temirgaliev.

The meeting of the State Examination Committee was held on the premises of the Leningrad Metal Plant of JSC Power Machines. The State Examination Committee was headed by the Director for Development of General Industrial Suppliers of Power Machines, Evgeniya Khmel. The SEC also included representatives of the customer and the university.

The result of the students' work was a set of measures that optimize production and management processes at the enterprise. In particular, recommendations for improving the purchasing activities of Power Machines through the implementation of an industrial marketplace make it possible to reduce the duration of the purchasing process. The proposed automation of contractual activities through the development of a template for filling out a contract reduces the time of the purchasing manager. Due to the developed recommendations for improving warehouse operations through the implementation of barcoding, as well as the implementation of an automated warehouse complex management system, the time for performing warehouse operations is reduced, the accuracy of accounting and the throughput of the warehouse are increased.

During the defense, the members of the State Examination Commission asked many questions, touching on their areas of professional interest. As a result, the commission rated the work as excellent.

After the results were announced, the chairperson of the State Examination Commission, Evgeniya Khmel, summed up the defense: On the customer's side, we make fairly high demands on students both during the pre-graduation internship and writing of the work, and during the defense itself. It is very important for us that the tasks that we set for students at the beginning of their journey find application in our business after the defense of the diploma. I can say that the team did a great job!

This is already the third project successfully implemented by IPMET students for Power Machines. Last year, the Polytechnicians defended a comprehensive final qualifying work commissioned by Power Machines – Leningrad Metal Plant on the topic of transforming the purchasing activities of an industrial enterprise in order to reduce slow-turnover inventories, and in 2023 worked on the project "Harmonization of production needs with the provision of components and materials" by order of "Power Machines" – the "Elektrosila" plant.

We attach great importance to the preparation of comprehensive final qualification works created by order of industrial enterprises of St. Petersburg. In this way, we solve a dual task: on the one hand, we help the enterprise to take a new look at production and management processes, on the other hand, we prepare young qualified specialists for our strategic partner, the Power Machines company, who, while still students, successfully completed pre-graduation practice, then wrote a diploma work and, most importantly, became employees of this enterprise, – commented the director of IPMEiT Vladimir Shchepinin.

This year, Russia celebrates Family, Love, and Fidelity Day at the official state level for the third time. The holiday came to the secular calendar from the church calendar, where the memory of the holy spouses Peter and Fevronia is honored on July 8.

The traditional family is one of the fundamental values of humanity. In recent years, the Government of the Russian Federation has been seriously working to support this fundamental institution of society. Since January 1, 2025, a new national project "Family" has been in effect, which has become a continuation of the national project "Demography". Its goal is to increase the number of families with children, including large families, and to strengthen family values.

The State University of Management is also working in this direction – with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, it is implementing a single comprehensive model for providing support to representatives of young families in the format of a “single window” system. Also in March of this year, a mother and child room was opened at the university, and in April the 2nd International Scientific Conference “Family in Modern Russian Society” was held.

We congratulate everyone on this bright, kind and important holiday. We wish the students of the State University of Management to find their soul mates, and to those who have already done so – an unquenchable family hearth. Women, support your men, they really need it, even if they don’t show it. Men, show your women signs of attention every day, because they are so pleased. For example, today you can give daisies – a symbol of Family, Love and Fidelity Day.
