Wilhelm Cauer (24 June 1900 – 22 April 1945 [1]) was a German mathematician and scientist. He is most noted for his work on the analysis and synthesis of electrical filters and his work marked the beginning of the field of network synthesis.
The Cauer model, also known as the continued-fraction circuit, T-model, or ladder network, is essentially a thermal network using Cauer RC components for thermal characterization of the part. By incorporating thermal
