A COMPUTER GRAPHICS APPROACH TO NON-LINEAR CIRCUIT DESIGN.

Abstract

The investigation is concerned with computer and programming requirements for on-line network design. A class of problem involving non-linear diode resistance networks was chosen. Such networks provide a useful form of general purpose function generator, here applied to the specific task of symbol generation. A procedure was implemented whereby the user 'draws' the required symbol to be generated on a cathode ray tube display, and output is obtained in the form of a labeled circuit diagram of the synthesized network. The validity of the computer-graphic design program was demonstrated by construction and testing of a particular symbol generator. (Author)
