Parameter decision diagram in the structural synthesis of analog networks

Abstract

In the age of ubiquitous CAD programs in various engineering domains, there are still no universal and effective algorithms for the structural synthesis of analog networks. However, once in a while we can meet some new ideas [1], [2]. The paper presents one of the attempts to solve the problem. Thanks to application of decision diagrams, the size of designed networks becomes less critical than in the classical approach.Index Terms-Structural synthesis and symbolic analysis of analog networks, Decision Diagrams, optimization.

A Cancellation-Free Symbolic Sensitivity Technique Based on Network Determinant Expansion

“…We propose in this paper the generalization of Hoang formula and Bode's technique for all types of transfer functions and circuit elements, based on implementation of the concept of higher order summative cofactors (HOSC) [12][13][14][15] instead of ordinary algebraic cofactors and computation of HOSC by means of GPEM [16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

“…In this paper we propose a cancellation-free symbolic sensitivity technique for computation of compact expression. The first-and second-order symbolic sensitivities formulas for all types of the transfer functions and circuit elements are derived by means of the concept of higher order summative cofactors (HOSC) [12][13][14][15] and generalized parameter extraction method (GPEM) [16][17][18][19][20][21] to avoid drawbacks of the previous methods mentioned above.…”
