To use Mason's gain formula we need to find paths and loops in the SFG. The example SFG has a loop from V1 to Vout to V1 and two Vin to Vout Paths, one direct and one via V1. Both paths touch (have a ...

Signal flow graph . To construct the SFG we need models for an Impedance Z and an op-amp. Let’s do the easy one first. The op-amp schematic and SFG are shown below. Op amp schematic . Op amp signal ...
