A method for calculating transmission properties of electrical networks consisting of a number of sections

The solution of certain electrical networks can be made to depend on the solution of a much-studied mathematical problem in difference equations. This fact, while recognized for some time, has not received as much attention as it deserves. On the following pages we have worked out several relatively simple electrical networks by the method of difference equations. Our aim was not to obtain the solutions of the particular cases considered, but rather to illustrate the procedure involved.
