SYNTHESIS OF TWO-TERMINAL CONTACT-DIODE NETWORKS

Abstract

An appoach to the design of contact-diode networks having different forward and reverse transmission functions is described. Linear graph theory forms the basis for the synthesis procedure which is an extension of Gould's method. The properties of single-diode networks are considered first. For such networks, the two specified forward and reverse transmission functions are mapped onto a single-contact switching function. Next, an oriented circuit matrix is obtained and the synthesis of a graph corresponding to the matrix is attempted on a maximum-loop basis. If no graph exists, the number of columns in the matrix (correspondingly increasing the number of diodes or contacts) must be increased until one such matrix yields a realizable network.
