Abstract :
A new method of the multiparameter symbolic sensitivity determination based on the equivalent nullor model of active devices and modified Coates flow graph is presented. The proposed method is simple and performs the multiparameter symbolic sensitivity analysis of a synthesized network with respect to various circuit parameters. A special software tool called “HoneySen” has been developed to implement the suggested method. All partial transfer functions and partial sensitivities can be determined, too. Symbolic results for the multiparameter sensitivity of the voltage transfer function for a fourth-order low pass filter is presented. Comparison of the presented method with the Transimpedance method is performed.
