VARIATIONS ON THE FIALKOW-GERST SYNTHESIS TECHNIQUE.
Abstract
The realization of RC grounded three-terminal networks from R-functions (proposed by Fialkow and Gerst) involves a great deal of arbitrariness. To reflect this arbitrariness, in this report, two bounded but otherwise arbitrary constants denoted as the split factor and the scalar are introduced into the synthesis cycle. The arbitrariness thus reflected, is used to obtain networks with a reduced number of elements. General optimization techniques producing a substantial reduction in the number of elements in the network are developed. The philosophy behind these techniques suggests a general, systematic and yet flexible synthesis procedure mainly dependent on algebra and the results are rewarding. Synthesis through pre-distortion is briefly discussed. Also proposed in this report is a set of special techniques (involving some minor constraints) which produce a larger reduction in the number of elements. The basis for the techniques discussed, is the possibility of providing a common grounded transformerless realization for the R-functions when the associated driving point admittance is specified.
