Abstract: The transfer function of an electrical network can be calculated using various techniques, including Kirchhoff's laws, two-point network theory, nodal analysis, and the time constant method. Another approach for algebraically determining the transfer function is through the use of the Signal Flow Graph (SFG). An SFG consists of a directed, weighted graph made up of nodes and branches. In this context, we will create a signal flow graph of a nonlinear electrical network to analyze it using Mason's gain formula and the Signal Flow Graph's reduction rules.
