Parameter Plane Design of Electrical Filters Containing Nonlinear Elements

摘要

A parameter-plane method, for the design of electrical filters containing slowly varying nonlinear elements is presented together with examples of its application to the lowpass, highpass, bandpass and band-reject filter types. The nonlinear magnitude and frequency characteristics are presented in the form of parameter-plane graphs which allow value judgements to be made concerning the choice of nonlinear elements used in the filter design. The computer programs used to generate the graphs are also included. (Author)
