In homogeneous distributed C-R-NC structures†

Abstract

By considering the current rather than the voltage differential equation, the parameters of the multilayer C-R-NC distributed network with an exponential inhomogeneity arc derived. The structure is thought to be as important in the characterization of integrated circuits as the better known R-C-NR, and the nature of their duality is explained. Frequency responses are evaluated and design curves presented for single-element notch filters. Finally, a recently developed numerical inversion technique is applied to the evaluation of the transient responses of these networks.
