REDUNDANT EQUIVALENT LINEAR PASSIVE NETWORKS AND STABILITY,
Abstract
The concept of redundant equivalent linear passive networks is introduced. Redundant equivalence conditions are derived and general classes of redundant equivalent networks found for one-port networks. Methods of analyzing the impedance stability of the redundant equivalent networks are presented. Three types of impedance instability are considered: (1) initial value (which is usually associated with the component tolerances), (2) small variations during circuit operation (causes 'drift' failures), and (3) very large variations during circuit operation (causes 'cata strophic' failures). It is shown for what ap pears to be a reasonable set of assumptions that all three types of instability can be removed by using redundant equivalent networks. (Author)
