B.S.T.J. Briefs: A Relation Between the Basis Functions of PeriodicallyVarying Nondissipative Circuits

THE BKLL 8Y8TKM TECHNICAL JOUKN'AL, NOVEMBEK 1963 A Relation Between the Basis Functions of Periodically Varying Nondissipativc Circuits By S I D N E Y D A R L I N G T O N (Manuscript rweived August 7, 1903) This note relates to circuits of linear, periodically time-varying, positive capacitors a n d inductors. M o r e specifically, it notes a property of t h e basis functions, or natural modes which describe the transient lx*havior of the circuits. S o m e other properties of the basis functions are described in Kef. I in this issue. In accordance with Ref.
