Circuit Analysis of Linear Varying-Parameter Networks

Abstract

This paper describes a theory of linear varying‐parameter networks which is essentially a generalization of the familiar frequency domain theory of fixed linear networks. Such basic concepts as impedance, admittance, gain, etc., are extended to linear varying‐parameter networks and their important properties are outlined. Extensions are given also of the general mesh and node equations, Thevenin's theorem, dualization, and some other relations that hold in the case of fixed networks. On the whole it is shown that many theorems, properties, and relations that hold in the case of fixed networks may be extended with proper modifications to linear varying‐parameter networks.
