Survey of Some Properties of Linear Networks

An attempt is made to give a brief expose of some modern works on linear network properties. The concepts treated are the following: passivity, stability, efficiency, and nonreciprocity; n -terminal-pair networks and two-terminal-pair networks in particular are studied at a fixed frequency.
