An interactive program for automatic network function generation with insights
Yanjie Gu, Guoyong Shi · 2015
This paper introduces an educational tool and its implementation for automatically generating symbolic network functions of analog small-signal circuits. This tool has the following features: graphical schematic input, automatic generation of transfer function formula in clean s-expanded form, and dynamic linkage between symbols in formula and the selected elements in circuit. The last feature is unique in this contribution in that it can help students easily receive design insights. The details on implementing these key features are presented together with an illustrative example.
