Question

Consider the impedance functionZ(s)=(s^2+6s+8)/(s^2+3s). Find the value of C1 after performing the first Cauer form.

(a) 1/4

(b) 1/3

(c) 1/2

(d) 1

I had been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

My question is from Synthesis of R-C Network by Cauer Method in section Elements of Realizability and Synthesis of One-Port Networks of Network Theory

Answer 1

Right choice is (b) 1/3

Best explanation: The second quotient of the continued fraction expansion is s/3.

So the value of C1 is 1/3 F.

C1 = 1/3 F.
