    Abstract

    This article has two objectives. The first one is to develop an Admittance Method (AM) for active circuits, which is a replacement for the Sum of the Tree Products (STP) used for symbolic analysis of circuits. The second objective is to replace the active devices (mainly VCCS) in circuits with nullors, and prepare them for a smooth application of the AM. The method is replacing the well-known 2-graph methodology, and it is ideal for low component density. The core of the AM technique is based on parallel and series (P/S) operations that continuously combines the components until it is reduced to a single element. It is shown that the admittance of the final element represents a port transfer function (admittance) with the numerator being the determinant of the Nodal Admittance Matrix (NAM). In the case of active circuits, with gm, the method works when the dependent sources are replaced with nullors.
