On the systematic synthesis of CCⅡ-based floating simulators

摘要

This paper is adopting a new approach in the systematic synthesis of CCII-based floating simulators. The synthesis procedure is based on the generalized systematic synthesis framework for active circuits using admittance matrix expansion. The resulting derived floating simulators include circuits that have been reported earlier in the literature in addition to novel floating simulators using various types of CCII. The synthesized floating simulators can be used to realize floating coils, FDNRs, and resistance and capacitance multipliers; according to the types of passive elements employed in the design. The potentials and drawbacks of every one of the synthesized circuits vary according to the design tradeoffs including complexity, number of active devices, number and values of grounded and floating passive elements, matching requirements, and tunability. SPICE simulations are presented to verify the performance of the new circuits obtained by systematic synthesis and hence demonstrate the potentials of the generalized synthesis framework in producing novel circuits with high performance.
