Abstract :
The authors describe work currently being carried out to develop CAD (computer-aided design) tools for network synthesis using object-oriented programming. This work deals with traditional passive linear network synthesis. The mathematical and numerical analysis concepts related to it, namely complex numbers, polynomials, and rational functions, are analyzed, and their object-oriented description is given. The analysis and the proposed object decomposition is then extended to the characteristics and the properties of electric components and circuits. Some examples of applications developed using the defined objects are then given. The data structure developed has been successfully tested in the development of an expert system for linear passive network synthesis
