electronics — Electronics calculations in GNU Octave

The “octelec” SourceForge project provides the “electronics” package for GNU Octave.
The package contains functions for the following purposes:

  • E series values
  • Two-gate parameter set conversions
  • Two-gate parameter sets for special circuits
  • Operational characteristics for two-gate circuits
  • Ratio to dB and vice versa calculations
  • Parallel impedances
  • Rounding values


Functions in the package

E series values

Choose values from E3, E6, E12, E24, E48, E96, and E192 series best matching a given value.

Two-gate parameter set conversions

Convert a two-gate parameter set from one form — i.e. H parameters — to another form — i.e. Z parameters.

Two-gate parameter sets for special circuits

Obtain parameter sets for special circuits.

Operational characteristics for two-gate circuits

Calculate voltage gain, current gain, and input impedance when two-gate parameters and load resistor are known.
Calculate output impedance when two-gate parameters and generator impedance are known.
Calculate voltage gain, current gain, input impedance, and output impedance if two-gate parameters, generator impedance, and load resistor are known.

Ratio to dB and vice versa calculations

Convert a voltage or current gain given as ratio to dB and vice versa. Convert a power gain given as ratio to dB and vice versa.

Parallel impedances

Calculate the resulting impedance when connecting impedances in parallel.

Rounding values

Round values to a specified number of leading digits.
