This book develops compares and illustrates all the more important methods of circuit analysis, developed for use directly by computer. It is the only known text to intermediate between basic circuit theory and computer-aided design, and with a clarity, which render the text easily understandable by engineers and students alike. Steering a middle course between fundamental and advanced theory, the subject is treated in sufficient depth to allow general application to active circuits throughout, thereby offering engineers a critical approach to circuit analysis. In setting out five major computer programs in the form of useful design tools, the author places his emphasis on analysis technique and application.
The programs, written in Basic and described in relation to theory so that they can be understood, modified and easily transferred to other computer systems; cover all the main analysis requirements. The circuit theory on which the five programs are based is also utilized in extended form by many other large circuit analysis programs readily available at computer centres, allowing designers to make full use of such programs without reference to specialized CAD texts. Features include: a much-improved presentation of two-port analysis through the use of wiring operators, and discussion on the growing use of computer programs for transfer function analysis both in the s-domain and symbolically.
There is a careful and lucid treatment of sensitivity analysis, and an important chapter on tolerance analysis, including integrated circuit tolerances.
