SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on designing a Foster 1 network for impedance testing, specifically using the equation z=(x^2+4)/(x(x^2+2)). The user successfully performed a partial fraction expansion, resulting in (2/x)-(x/(x^2+2)). The design includes a series capacitor of value (1/2) and a parallel capacitor of value 1, with the realization that the network will also incorporate an inductor valued at 1/8. The user seeks clarification on testing Zsmall and Zlarge within this context.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Foster network design principles
  • Knowledge of impedance and its testing methods

Homework Statement


Design and show a foster 1 network

z=(x^2+4)/(x(x^2+2))

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution


So first I did the partial fraction expansion and I got (2/x)-(x/(x^2+2)). Next I got everything in the denominator so (1/x/2)-(1/(x+(2/x)) when I do this though I get all capacitors I get one series capacitor at (1/2) and one capacitor at 1 which is in parallel with (1/2) iis this wrong?

I guess what I should ask is a foster netwrok possible with only capacitors
 
Well actually it will be an LC network not RC and Z(0)=infinity and Z(infinity)=1 so there will be a series inductor. This also means one of the capcitors will actually be an inductor with a value of 1/8. But how do you test Zsmall and Zlarge?
