The Steady-State Response of a Network to a Periodic Driving Force of Arbitrary Shape, and Applications to Television Circuits

This paper deals with the problem of determining the steady-state response of a network to a periodic driving force of arbitrary form, without the use of Fourier analysis. The periodic driving force is treated as a series of repeated transients, and the response of the network is found as the sum of the separate responses to each of the repeated transients. Formulas are developed for the general response of a network to several types of driving force encountered in scanning circuits for cathode-ray television, in terms of the general indicial response of the network. Applications to some typical scanning circuits are shown.
