A new method of inhomogeneous ladder network synthesis
David P. Brown · International Journal of Circuit Theory and Applications · 1981
Abstract A procedure to synthesize ladder networks in which each series arm impedance is fiz(s) and each shunt arm admittance is giy(s) is presented. Given a specified network function T(s), the function G = z(s)y(s) is first established by a polynomial decomposition. Then the appropriate chain parameters associated with T(s) are constructed as polynomials in G. The constants fi, gi are determined from a straightforward continued fraction expansion of a related RL impedance function in G. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the steps in the procedure are established and examples are included.
