VARIABLE FREQUENCY-RESPONSE ANALYSIS
In AC steady state analysis the frequency is assumed constant (e.g., 60Hz).
Here we consider the frequency as a variable and examine how the performance
varies with the frequency.

When voltages and currents are defined at different terminal pairs we
define the ratios as Transfer Functions
If voltage and current are defined at the same terminals we define
