A Computational Method Applicable to Microwave Networks

A method is devised for computing the properties of a complex microwave network in terms of the properties of the circuit elements which in combination form the network. It is particularly suited to machine computation of the properties of circuits of such complexity that simpler, more direct methods fail. It is also applicable to low frequency networks. The elements of such networks may be regarded as interconnected by transmission lines of zero length. A numerical example is used to illustrate the method.
