nanometers shown in red. The insets show the deformation pattern for each of the Zernikes. The<br />
legend indicates the frequency at which the peak response occurs. For this analysis, the passive<br />
isolation design is sufficient to satisfy all Zernike amplitude requirements, and the DFP<br />
performance exhibits between 1 and 2 orders of magnitude margin on all requirements. The upto-date<br />
analysis shows that a three-stage passive isolation design is sufficient to meet<br />
requirements with wheel speed limitation or damping augmentation. The active DFP design<br />
seems to demonstrate even greater vibration reduction capabilities but carries additional risks as<br />
mentioned above.<br />
