Abstract :
CURVES OF impedance and admittance in the complex plane for various combinations of 2-terminal 3-element linear dissipative networks are extremely useful in the solution of many electrical engineering problems because of the direct, straightforward manner in which they show graphically the resistive and reactive components of complex impedance and admittance, the magnitude of impedance and admittance, and the phase shift at all frequencies between zero and infinity. The curves also reveal that the 16 possible combinations of 2-terminal 3-element networks fall into four main groups of four networks each.
