The realisation of negative-impedance convertors and invertors using the bridge-type circuit using the nullor to infinite-gain controlled sources is briefly surveyed and a relevant theorem concerning passivity is proved.Abstract:
The realisation of negative-impedance convertors (n.i.c.s) and invertors (n.i.i.s) using the bridge-type circuit is briefly surveyed. An equivalence relating the nullor to infinite-gain controlled sources is first proved, and is then used for the derivation of nullator-norator equivalent circuits for n.i.c.s and n.i.i.s. Some properties of networks containing singular elements, which are used in the realisation of gyrators, are investigated. Nullator-norator equivalent circuits for gyrators are derived by using the n.i.c.s and n.i.i.s. They are converted into physical networks by using the proved equivalence. Gyrator circuits are obtained by replacing nullors by operational amplifiers. A stability analysis of the gyrator circuits is produced and a relevant theorem concerning passivity is proved. The feasible Qfactors and the accuracy of the gyrator circuits are indicated by some experimental results. A generalised-impedance convertor (g.i.c.) is defined by generalising the n.i.c. theory, and it is shown that the gyrator circuits described can be used as g.i.c.s. The application of the gyrator and g.i.c. circuits in the synthesis of RC-active networks is considered. Finally, a highpass filter using gyrators and a bandpass filter using g.i.c.s are designed, and the experimental results are given.read more

Some Fundamental Properties of Transmission Systems
TL;DR: In this article, the minimum loss in relation to the singing point is investigated for generalized transmission systems that must be stable for any combination of passive terminating impedances, and it is concluded that the loss may approach zero db only in those cases where the image impedances seen at the ends of the system are purely resistive.
