Analog Circuits: Core Network Functions and Dependent Sources

This lecture covers the core network functions of one- and two-port circuits, including the cascade connection and the chain rule for voltage transfer functions. It also discusses the impact of open-loop finite gain on inverting amplifiers, the equivalent circuits of voltage-controlled voltage sources, and s-domain circuit analysis with pole locations. Furthermore, it explores the analysis of circuits with dependent sources, focusing on Thévenin equivalent circuits and input resistance calculations for transistor circuits.
