Design of a memcapacitor emulator based on a memristor

摘要

Since Hewlett-Packard's solid state implementation of a memristive system in 2008, a lot of research has begun to develop applications using this new component. As it is not available as a two terminal device yet, emulating circuits must be developed. Building on our previous work to develop an analog model of a memristor, a memcapacitor emulator is proposed in this Letter. This model can be realized by transforming a memristor emulator to a memcapacitor emulator. The characteristics of a memcapacitor are based on the theory proposed by L.O. Chua. The transformation process is described in detail in this Letter. Simulation and experimental results are given as well.
