4.2 <strong>Circuit</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong> <strong>Using</strong> Driving-Point Impedances 80<br />

For the short-circuit current of node 1, we see that we have contributions from both<br />

current sources, thus<br />

Z DP1<br />

Z DP2<br />

For node 2, current is being drawn out of the node by source I dc thus,<br />

The final step involves re-establishing the original constraint placed on current<br />

source, I x = 2V b,<br />

and setting the node voltages to the products of their respective<br />

driving-point impedances and short-circuit currents:<br />

4.2.1 The Complete DPI <strong>Analysis</strong> Procedure<br />

To date, published material on DPI/SFG analysis have not shown how the<br />

method can be applied to circuits that contain floating or dependent voltage sources.<br />

In this section, we refine the DPI analysis procedure to accommodate for voltage<br />

sources. Voltage sources pose a slight problem in the practical application of KCL<br />

because the current through a voltage source is unconstrained. Since both nodal and<br />

DPI analysis techniques are simply applications of KCL, both techniques require<br />

provisions for handling voltage sources. For nodal analysis, this includes the con-<br />

cept of the supernode [Bobrow,1987]. No new concepts are required for DPI analy-<br />

sis. However, the procedure that was outlined in the previous section needs to be<br />

reformulated and generalized. Consider the simple circuit in Figure 4.4 that contains<br />

one floating voltage source. If we attempt to follow the same procedure used in<br />
