SPEAL - A RESEARCH REPORT ON A PROBLEM-ORIENTED COMPUTER LANGUAGE FOR ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING ANALYSIS,
Abstract
SPEAL, an acronym for Special Purpose Engineering Analysis Language, is a problem-oriented digital-computer language for circuit analysis. Input data to SPEAL is essentially technical-textbook-English rational-function-of-s network element descriptions in a free-field format and analysis requests in a free-field format. Output from the SPEAL analysis procedures are discussed and illustrated. The network functions procedure provides input impedance, transfer impedance and voltage ratio (gain) functions both in coefficient form and in pole-zero form. A.C. and D.C. analysis procedures provide network voltage, current, power and impedance variables for specified inputs. The frequency response and transient response procedures provide tabular and plotted graphical output of the function as specified. The program is intended for use by electrical engineering students and faculty as an academic and research tool. The language not only permits easy data interpretation, but also permits easy use by the person with no computer experience. (Author)
