Title SYNTHESIS OF NETWORKS WITH COMPLEX TERMINATIONS

Abstract approved (Major ofessor A method for the synthesis of networks with specified complex terminations is presented. The specification function is realized within a multiplicative constant. The technique presented differs somewhat from present methods employed in the synthesis of networks with resistive terminations. The technique is one of rearranging a transfer function and separating the specified load. The remaining portions are associ-ated with realizable network functions which are synthesized by classical methods. The load is then added to the synthesized network. Through the analysis of a terminated network by the use of Thevenin's and Norton's theorems, the transfer function of the net-work can be generated in terms of the network characteristics and the termination. Having derived the general expression for the transfer function of a network, it is possible to separate a give
