Abstract A method for the synthesis of networks with specified complex
terminations is presented. The specification function is realized
within a multiplicative constant. The technique presented differs
somewhat from present methods employed in the synthesis of networks
with resistive terminations.
The technique is one of rearranging a transfer function and
separating the specified load. The remaining portions are associated
with realizable network functions which are synthesized by
classical methods. The load is then added to the synthesized network.
Through the analysis of a terminated network by the use of
Thevenin's and Norton's theorems, the transfer function of the network
can be generated in terms of the network characteristics and
the termination. Having derived the general expression for the
transfer function of a network, it is possible to separate a given
transfer function with a specified termination in such a manner that
it can be associated with the general expression.
This separation process is the foundation of many of the operational
steps of the procedure. In cases where the load is not already
in the expression or not readily separable, it is inserted by multiplying
and dividing or by adding and subtracting, whichever is appropriate.
The separation, however, must yield network functions
which are realizable. That is, driving point specifications must be
positive real and transfer functions must satisfy similar requirements
except that the degree of s in the numerator only has to be equal to
or less than the degree of s in the denominator. The separation
procedure consists of introducing a function, X (s), and then dividing
the numerator and denominator of the transfer function by this function,
X (s) is selected in such a manner that the restrictions placed on the
expressions associated with the network specifications are maintained.
A network can now be realized using a conventional method that is
appropriate. The network is then connected to the termination and the
overall transfer function is represented within a multiplicative constant.
