On the realisation of arbitrary linear resistive n-port networks

Abstract

This paper gives a new method for designing an arbitrary linear resistive multiport based on simple modules. The new approach presents two distinctive features which are not presently shared with other related design procedures. First, it allows voltage-controlled as well as current-controlled ports. Secondly, every port may be grounded or floating, i.e. it is possible to design either (n + l)-terminal or n-port networks
