Abstract

A new network configuration is introduced which may be used in active RC network synthesis. It uses a voltage-controlled voltage amplifier having negative gain equal to unity and a voltage- or current-inversion negative-impedance convertor. A synthesis procedure is eventually described using the new configuration.
