| Abstract | The approximation problem of network synthesis is considered in four parts. First, the problem is identified. Second, the several existing methods of solving this problem are briefly discussed. This discussion is necessary because the well known methods have inherent limitations if they are to be ultimately applied to the other problem of network synthesis, the realization problem. These inherent limitations must be recognized before any new method, which perhaps avoids the limitations, can be devised. The third part is devoted to an iterative method of solving the problem, which requires the use of a digital computer. This method successfully avoids several of the difficulties associated with the other methods. A function of the pole and zero coordinates is established which becomes zero when coincidence between a realizable approximation and an ideal response occurs. It has been found that a modification of Newton's procedure for finding the real root of a polynomial is capable of determining the unknown pole and zero coordinates. The fourth part considers the unsolved questions associated with the iterative method. |
