A Combinatorial-Digital Computation of a Network Parameter
Daniel C. Fielder · IRE Transactions on Circuit Theory · 1961
In order to avoid numerical iteration in the calculation of a typical return-loss coefficient of anLCladder structure, combinatorial analysis methods are used to form equations which defer inclusion of the problem data until an advanced stage in the solution. Three different combinatorial procedures are included. The network parameter calculation serves as a convenient example to demonstrate these combinatorial methods and the applicability of digital computers to combinatorial procedures.
