Analysis of stochastic behavior of switched linear networks

An efficient method is proposed to analyze the stochastic behavior of periodically switched linear circuits in the frequency domain. The method computes zero-state, zero-input responses, and their derivatives with respect to circuit elements by using an efficient multi-step numerical Laplace inversion algorithm. The variance of the response is obtained using a first-order second-moment algorithm. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated by comparing with the brute force approach and its accuracy is assessed using Monte Carlo simulation
