The General Realization of Rational Transfer Function Using Single- and Double-Contoured Heizer Distributed Networks

A guide to the use of rational multipole contoured distributed networks with non-normalized parameters in active and passive transfer function synthesis is presented. For realization, the number of simultaneous equations to be solved must equal the number of variables available; where it is in excess, a method of introducing auxiliary components is demonstrated. Finally, the application of these techniques to the formation of elliptic transfer functions with both single- and double-contoured single-pole networks is demonstrated.
