1.1 Introduction-Network and Circuit
An electric network is any possible interconnection of electric circuit elements such as
resistors, inductors, capacitors, transmission lines, voltage sources, current sources,
and switches.
An electrical circuit is a network that has a closed loop, giving a return path for the
current.
All the circuits are networks, while a network is not necessarily a circuit.
Ex: T-network
The keywords in Network analysis and synthesis

1.Excitations (or) Causes

2. Network
3. Responses (or) Effects

Network analysis : Network analysis concerned with determining the response, given the
excitation and the network.
Network synthesis : The problem is to design the network given the excitation and the 2
response
1. 2 Signal Analysis
 In electric networks the excitation and response are given in terms of voltages
and currents which are function of time t.
 Electrical signals are described by time and frequency.
 Between time and frequency the translation is effected by the Fourier series,
Fourier integral and Laplace transform.

Signal description in time and frequency

consider the sinusoidal signal expressed as:

CONT.…

An equally complete description of signal is obtained if we let the angular frequency
ω to be independent variable. In this case the signal is described in terms of

1.3 System
A system is a combination and interconnection of several components to perform a desired
task.
Basic Definitions:
1. Linear : A system (network ) is linear, if that holds the super position principle i.e.,
additivity and homogeneity (or scaling)

Additivity

Homogeneity

Super position e1(t), e2(t) Excitations

r1(t), r2(t) Responses
C1,C2 Constants

5
2. Passive : A linear network is passive if :
 The energy delivered to network is non negative for any arbitrary excitation.
 No voltage or current appear between an two terminals before the excitation is applied.

3. Reciprocal
 A network is said to be reciprocal if when the points of excitation and measurement of
response are interchanged. The relationship between excitation and response remain
the same.

I= 0.35294A

4. Causal
 A system is said to be causal or non-anticipative if the output of the system at any time
depends only on values of the input at the present time and in the past. i.e., the system
output does not anticipate future values of the input.
 if then

Example: y(t)=x(t)+x(t-1) ; y[n]=x[n]+x[n-1]

6
5. Time invariant
 A system is time-invariant, or fixed, if its input-output relationship does not change with
time.[if a time shift in the input signal results in an identical time shift in the output
signal].
i.e., r(t) is the output of the system when e(t) is the input, then r(t ± T) is the output when e(t
± T) is applied

7
6.Derivative
If e(t) at the input give rise to r(t) at the output, then if the input where , the output would
be .

7. Some ideal models

a) Amplifier : An amplifier scales up the magnitude of the input, i.e., r(t)=K e(t),
where K is a constant

8
 b) Differentiator: The input signal is differentiated and possibly scaled up or down

c) Integrator

i) Electrical Sources
There are 2 types of sources of electrical energy, the voltage source and the current
source

Ideal Ideal voltage source: Which

maintains a constant terminal
Voltage voltage regardless of the
value of the current through its
sources Non-ideal terminal
Non-ideal voltage source: In which
Current the voltage across the terminals of
Ideal the source
keeps falling as the current through
it increases. This can be explained
Non-ideal by connecting a internal resistance
in series with an ideal voltage source

Ideal current source: Which maintains a constant terminal current regardless of the
value of the voltage through its terminal
Non-ideal current source: In which the current across the terminals of the source
keeps falling as the voltage across it increases. This can be explained by connecting a

internal resistance in parallel with an ideal current source

2.1. INITIAL AND FINAL CONDITIONS

 In the solution of network differential equations, the complementary

function is called transient solution or free response. The particular
integral is known as a forced response.
 In the case of constant or periodic excitations the forced response at is
steady state or final solution.
 There are two ways to obtain initial conditions:
i. through differential equations
ii. Through knowledge of physical behavior of R,L,C elements in the
network.

18
INITIAL CONDITIONS FOR CAPACITOR
 For a capacitor the voltage-current relationship at t=0+ is :

 If i(t) doesn't contain impulse or derivatives of impulse . If q is a charge on the

capacitor at t=0-, the initial voltage is :

 When there is no charge on the capacitor, We conclude that when there is no stored
energy on the capacitor its equivalent circuit at t=0+ is short circuit.
 The final condition or steady state condition is obtained from the knowledge of dc
circuits. For a dc excitation a capacitor is an open circuit
 Thus

19
Initial conditions for an inductor
 For an inductor the voltage current relationship at t=0+ is

 If v(t) doesn’t contain impulses then .

 If there is no initial current, which corresponds to an open circuit at t=0+.
 An inductor is acting as a short circuit at steady state condition

20
2.2. SOLUTION OF NETWORK EQUATIONS

 Solution of network equation can be based on:

KCL, KVL , OHMS LAW, Laplace Transform , Fourier Transform
 We can write a network equations in two different bases
1 mesh equations /loop equation
2 node equations
 A mesh is the smallest size closed path which doesn’t contain any closed path
inside it
 A mesh is loop , but a loop is not mesh.

21
2.3. POLES AND ZEROS OF RATIONAL FUNCTION (LAPLACE DOMAIN)

 A generalized network function can be written as

 By factorizing each polynomial the above function can be written as

Where z1, z2… zn are n roots of the polynomial P(s) and p1, p2... pm are m roots of the
polynomial Q(s).
 The roots of polynomial P(s) are called zeros whereas the roots of the polynomial Q(s)
are called poles.
 In complex frequency domain, a zero is denoted by a small circle and a pole by a cross.
 From the above equation, H(s) becomes zero when s is equal to any of the zeros and H(s)
becomes infinite when s is equal to any of the poles.

22
 When the degree of P(s) is greater than the degree of Q(s), then H(s) goes to infinite as s goes to
infinity; and hence, H(s) is said to have pole at infinity.
 Similarly, when the degree of P(s) is less than the degree of Q(s), then H(s) goes to zero as s goes
to infinity; and hence, H(s) is said to have zero at infinity.
 Poles and zeros at s = 0 and s =∞ are called external critical frequencies, and other poles and
zeros are called internal critical frequencies.
 H(s) is said to have simple poles and zeros when the poles and zeros are not repetitive, otherwise
the network function may have multiple poles and zeros.
 H(s) can have three types of critical frequencies (poles and
zeros)
1) Poles and zeros at s = 0 and s = ∞
2) Poles and zeros at real frequency (σ). These poles and zeros have the form of (s+σ1) during
factorization.
3) Poles and zeros at complex frequency (σ + jω). These poles and zeros have the form of (s -
σ1 - jω) during factorization. For network functions, these complex poles and zeros exist in
conjugates so that the product of these terms [(s - σ1 - jω) x (s - σ1 + jω)] gives the term (s2
- 2 σ1s+ σ21+ω2).
For poles and zeros on the jω –axis, σ is zero so that the above term is reduced to (s2+ω2)

2.4. PARTIAL FRACTION EXPANSION AND RESIDUES
Consider the general network function

When the denominator polynomial is factorized H(s) can be written as

Partial fraction expansion is done by breaking up H(s) in to sum of smaller functions each
containing a pole. The partial fraction expansion of H(s) is given as

Where, q(s) is the quotient polynomial found by long division.

25
CASE 1 SIMPLE POLES
 Simple pole is a first order pole
 assuming the degree of p(s) is less than degree of Q(s), we use partial fraction expansion to
decompose H(s) in to

The expansion coefficients ,and are known as residues of H(s).

Where F1(s) is the remaining part of F(s) that doesnt have a pole at s=-p.We determine the
expansion coefficient kn as:

To determine , we multiply each term of F(s) by and deffirentiat to get rid of then

Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorem:

Consider an active linear network N, represented as a black box shown in fig. Let A and B be any
pair of terminals of N with respect to which an equivalent circuit is desired.
Statement of Thevenin’s theorem:
With respect to terminal pair AB, the network N may be replaced by a voltage source Vth in series
with an internal impedance Zth. The voltage source Vth called Thevenin’s voltage, is the potential
difference between the terminals A and B, and Zth is the internal impedance of the network N as seen
from the terminals A and B with all the sources set to zero.i.e., with all the voltage sources shorted
and all the current sources open circuited leaving behind their internal resistance or impedances. 32
