TIME-DOMAIN ANALYSIS OF LINEAR-SYSTEMS USING SPREADSHEETS

In this paper, a method for the analysis of linear systems using sprea dsheets is presented. This method is based on a spreadsheet pictorial simulation of the mathematical performance of an integrator, At first, a connecting method, using integrators, is used to symbolize differen t blocks of the system each representing a given transfer function, Th ese blocks are then connected according to the signal flow and the int errelationship existing between them, As a result, the output of the s ystem in response to any given input and any given configuration is ev aluated, This method is characterized by its low cost, flexibility, an d simplicity.
