ON THE ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE LUMPED-DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS.

Abstract

Fabrication methods associated with modern microelectronic technology have stimulated detailed investigation of the properties of distributed active and passive transmission systems. As a consequence, there have appeared recently several interesting results concerning the analysis and synthesis of distributed networks. As one attempts to realize practical microelectronic systems, however, one confronts structures which require treatment as combinations of lumped and distributed networks. This report presents an analysis technique directly applicable to such composite configurations and gives examples of its application to several systems of current engineering interest. The technique is basically a generalization of root locus methods used in the analysis and synthesis of lumped systems. To permit applicability to composite lumped-distributed systems, one requires a generalization of the rules of construction applicable to systems with a countably infinite number of poles and zeros. In the report these rules are derived and their use is illustrated by several typical examples. Significant insight into the analysis and synthesis of composite lumped-distributed systems is obtained when use is made of the generalized root locus technique described in this report. (Author)
