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 />
