Abstract

A digital computer simulator for the frequency response and tolerance network comprising RLCM elements, ideal operational amplifiers and controlled sources is presented. The simulator is based on `tableau approach´. Reordering of the sparse tableau matrix is done using Markowitz Criterion and the diagonal pivots are chosen for simplicity. The simulator also employs dynamic allocation for maximum utilization of memory and faster turn around time. Three network are simulated and their results are presented. A network in which the operational amplifiers are assumed to have single pole behaviour is also analyzed.
