TY - EJOU AU - Yildiz, Ali Bekir TI - Generalized Method Based on Nodal and Mesh Analysis for Computation of Time Constants of Linear Circuits T2 - Computer Modeling in Engineering \& Sciences PY - 2011 VL - 75 IS - 1 SN - 1526-1506 AB - The generalized method for determination of time constants of linear circuits is introduced. Nodal and mesh analysis, conventional methods whose applications are simpler than the state-space formulation, are used in obtaining the system equations. The approach is based on the use of the relationship between transfer functions and system equations of linear circuits, obtained by the conventional methods. The examples of active and passive circuits are given to illustrate the method. KW - Time-constant KW - nodal analysis KW - mesh analysis KW - linear electrical circuit DO - 10.3970/cmes.2011.075.033
