An intrinsic description of the frequency domain re sponse of a section of nonuniform RC line, which might contain dis continuities and lumped elements and be terminated in an RC lumped impedance, is presented. The network functions are express ible as ratios of entire functions. Analytic properties of these entire functions are studied. Their order, type, genus, and their asymp totic behavior and their bounds on the real frequency axis are determined. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a transcendental frequency function to be a network function of a nonuniform RC line.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
