International Conference on Engineering Education – ICEE 2007 Electrical Two-ports; A Maple Approach

Abstract — Electrical two-ports are an important subject in the course of circuit theory and form a basis for other topics such as electronics or communications circuit design. However, problems involving two-ports almost have a large amount of computational burden. In this paper we present a software package based on Maple to deal with these types of problems. The package can extract various parameters of a two-port network symbolically, directly from its Ladder or Spice-alike description. The package is especially appropriate for educational purposes and contributes to a computer-aided learning environment. Index Terms — E-learning, computer-aided instruction
