COMPUTER-AIDED NETWORK DESIGN BY OPTIMIZATIONS IN THE FREQUENCY DOMAIN

Abstract

The filter design problem is considered as an optimization problem. An iterative search technique is employed to adjust the variable network element values to approximate some desired network response, with a minimum of error. Explicit constraints are employed to ensure physical realizability. The design process uses a combination of a modified version of Calahan's network analysis program with a direct search method of minimization developed by Hooke and Jeeves. The result is a procedure which uses the circuit designer's experience and knowledge to set up the problem but relieves him of the tedious labor now performed by the high-speed digital computer.
