Purpose of this Website

 
D-OA has been for around for over 4 decades but still is not widely taught.   In my experience as a analog circuit design engineer, it also does not seem to be widely used even though many people have taken Dr. Middlebrook's "Technical Therapy" course over the years.  The purpose of this website is to enhance collaboration between those interested in learning and applying D-OA.  This includes both people who have already been able to devote the effort to make D-OA a part of their engineering toolkit and those who are in the process of learning D-OA.
 
I have at least two ideas, so far, to start using this website for D-OA collaboration.  Please contact me with your ideas and contributions.
  1. Sharing of tools which support D-OA. 
    1.  For example, see Garrett's implementation of SPICE simulation support for the GFT by coupled dual voltage and current injection in the section entitled SPICE Simulation of General Feedback Theorem Transfer Functions
  2. Sharing of examples of the application of D-OA. 
    1. For example, see the results of the application of the N-Extra Element Theorem (N-EET) to derive low entropy expressions for the poles and zeros of a Boost Converter with parasitic LCR in parallel with the load.  Results of Boost Converter D-OA Using N-EET.
