LINEAR NETWORK ANALYSIS AND REALIZATION DIGITAL COMPUTER PROGRAMS: AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL,

Abstract

Digital computer FORTRAN programs for the analysis and realization of linear electrical networks are described, and ten examples of their use are given. For input data, the analysis program requires a list of elements (described by their terminal node numbers, element types, and elemental values), the input and output node numbers, and the type of desired network function (driving point impedance, voltage transfer function, etc.). The program then calculates the coefficients of the required network function, the poles and zeros, frequency response, and transient response to an arbitrary input. The realization program requires for input data an existing design (topology) which is in some sense close to its final form. The element values are then perturbed until the final design (if possible) is achieved. The final design is specified by prescribing element values and/or a network function T(S). The principal features of the realization program are its abilities to accept arbitrary topologies, to 'grow' new elements, and to converge rapidly. (Author)
