Abstract :
A unified approach to sensitivity analysis of dynamic electrical circuits is presented. The method is based on Tellegen´s theorem. It makes possible the computation of first-order gradients of first-order variations of a system quality factor with respect to time-dependent or time-independent circuit parameters or external excitations. It is shown that the method can be generalized to cover higher-order sensitivities. An illustrative example is discussed
