Summary
Written by an eminent researcher, this book presents a rigorous treatment of the key principles underpinning the synthesis of linear lumped passive time-invariant networks. Introducing fundamental principles in a formal theorem-proof style, accompanied by worked examples, it is suitable for electrical engineering graduate students, academic researchers and professional circuit engineers.
