Active RC n-Port Network Synthesis Using Nullators and Norators

A new method of synthesizing active RC n-port networks using nullators and norators is given. The method based on the reactance extraction principle uses a minimum number of grounded capacitors and gains its importance from the fact that the synthesis procedure does not depend on any topological considerations. A bound on the maximum number of nullator-norator pairs required to realize any arbitrary Y (s) matrix is obtained. © 1974, IEEE. All rights reserved.
