4.3 DPI/SFG: Combining DPI <strong>Analysis</strong> and Signal-Flow Graphs 84<br />

4.3 DPI/SFG: COMBINING DPI ANALYSIS AND SIGNAL-FLOW GRAPHS<br />

DPI/SFG analysis combines driving-point impedance analysis and signal-flow<br />

graphs. DPI relations are of the form<br />

vn = Z DPn × I SCn<br />

(4.7)<br />

and they are naturally represented in signal-flow graphs because they represent a<br />

cause-and-effect relationship. DPI/SFG analysis follows the same procedure out-<br />

lined in Section 4.2.1 for DPI analysis. There are certain characteristics that signal-<br />

flow graphs take on when derived from DPI analysis. The basic DPI relation in<br />

Equation (4.7) is represented in the SFG space by two nodes, I SCn and v n , and a con-<br />

necting branch Z DPn . Short-circuit current node I SCn has only one outgoing branch<br />

with a transmittance, Z DPn , but may have many incoming branches. Conversely, the<br />

auxiliary voltage source node v n has only one incoming branch, Z DPn , but may have<br />

many outgoing branches. To help distinguish these nodes from more general ones,<br />

we employ the node conventions shown in Figure 4.5. Apart from this, however, the<br />

signal-flow graphs presented here conform to the standard rules and conventions.<br />

A systematic procedure can be used to help construct signal-flow graphs in DPI/<br />

SFG analysis. Begin by drawing all the Z DP × I SC node pairs, then add the drivingpoint<br />

impedance for each node. Fill in the transmittance branches by working from<br />

each voltage node and by adding a transmittance branch from the present node to<br />

each short-circuit current node that the present node affects. Finally, add the trans-<br />

mittance branches that re-establish the constraints on the dependent sources, and<br />

place node values to specify the values of independent sources.<br />
