I cannot directly provide a downloadable PDF file or a specific excerpt from Introduction to Modern Network Synthesis by M.E. Van Valkenburg due to copyright restrictions. However, I can give you a from the book that is central to its teaching:

• The problem of positive-real functions with axis poles.
• Brune’s cycle for extracting a Brune section.
• Dealing with transmission zeros on the jω axis.

The book outlines the following steps in network synthesis: Introduction To Modern Network Synthesis Van Valkenburg.pdf

Mac Elwyn Van Valkenburg's 1960 text, Introduction to Modern Network Synthesis , established a rigorous, scientific foundation for circuit design by focusing on mathematical synthesis rather than trial-and-error methods. The work covers essential topics for advanced engineering, including positive real functions, one-port network synthesis, and the approximation problem for frequency response.

• Definition of Positive-Real (PR) function and necessary/sufficient conditions.
• Foster I/II expansions (partial fraction forms).
• Continued-fraction expansion for Cauer forms.
• Brune synthesis steps (extraction of series/parallel resistances, extraction of reactive elements, usage of transformers).
• Relation between impedance Z(s), admittance Y(s), and driving-point functions.
• Basic state-space realization (A,B,C,D) <-> impedance Z(s) = C (sI − A)^-1 B + D.
