Determining Element-Value for Linear Resistive Star Circuits Containing Two Noncontact Nodes.

This paper considers the method that measures the network-element values for the linear resistive network containing the inaccessible nodes and a network topology that is known and element values that are unknown. Measured data at the accessible nodes are used. Whether all of the element values can be determined from the measured data is dependent on network topology. A discussion of what type of configuration for which element values can be determined is presented. A perfect solution is not obtained when the inaccessible nodes number more than two. A new method of determining the element values is given for the circuits containing two inaccessible nodes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
