Abstract :
The program addresses the problem of relating the statistical effects of random element deviations to the variations in the magnitude characteristics of linear circuits. The program was written as a tool to assist in the design of equalizers, compensators, and filters. It is readily applicable to active or passive filters. It analyzes circuits composed of resisters, lossy (or non-lossy) capacitors and inductors, and operational amplifiers. For the latter devices, finite gain and bandwidth may be specified. The graphic display of the circuit characteristics is especially informative in that it shows not only the basic ideal Bode plot magnitude characteristic and its high/low range statistical variations, but also the limits of the specifications provided by the user.<>
