Fast Analytical Techniques for Electrical and Electronic Circuits
Fast Analytical Techniques for Electrical and Electronic Circuits
The only method of circuit analysis known to most engineers and students is nodal or loop analysis. Although this works well for obtaining numerical solutions, it is almost useless for obtaining analytical solutions in all but the simplest cases. In this unusual 2002 book, Vorpérian describes remarkable alternative techniques to solve, almost by inspection, complicated linear circuits in symbolic form and obtain meaningful analytical answers for any transfer function or impedance. Although not intended to replace traditional computer-based methods, these techniques provide engineers with a powerful set of tools for tackling circuit design problems. They also have great value in enhancing students' understanding of circuit operation, making this an ideal course book, and numerous problems and worked examples are included. Originally developed by Professor David Middlebrook and others at Caltech (California Institute of Technology), the techniques described here are now widely taught at institutions and companies around the world.
- Explains how to easily analyse complex linear circuits with minimal mathematics
- Offers a serious and effective alternative to Nodal or Loop analysis
- Author was a student of R. D. Middlebrook - inventor of the techniques described in the book
