What is linear bilateral active networks?
If I divide the term into words as
(Passive + Linear + Bilateral ) Network
then it would be easier to understand.
1st of all, Passive Network is a network that includes **passive
electrical / electronic components.
Then, Linear Network is consists of passive electrical /
electronic components whose parameters such as resistance,
capacitance or inductance are constant with respect to current or
voltage and in such network each voltage or current source act
independently of each other.
After that, Bilateral Network is the network in which the
magnitude of current remains the same when the voltage polarity is
reversed.
So, A Passive linear bilateral network includes passive
components that exhibit linearity and at the same time magnitude of
current is independent of the polarity of voltage.
** Passive electronic components are Resistor, Inductor or
Capacitor, they by themselves are not capable of amplifying or
processing an electrical signal.
