Abstract :
Lumped distributed multi-branch networks have been used to model interconnections of logical circuits and computer-networks for the suppression of multiple reflection waves which cause distorted signals. In this paper, a method of deriving network functions (NFs) is discussed by considering the interconnection of three multi-branch networks, because fast output calculations are expected from the analytical NFs. The NFs are confirmed by calculating the frequency characteristics of a broad-band improved hybrid-ring with a multi-stage structure, and also by calculating the step responses of a three-stage network which includes an inhomogeneous coupled section
