Abstract :
A unified and efficient approach for the determination of the Thevenin (Norton) equivalent circuit is presented, in which two parameters of the Thevenin (Norton) equivalent circuit can be obtained simultaneously and systematically, and it is not required to set all independent sources to zero.
