Synthesis of Some Specific Types of Voltage/Current Transfer Functions with Minimum Number of Passive Elements and One Active Device

ABSTRACT

In past, many realizations were obtained by intuition, i.e. selected the circuit configuration a priori and then assumed suitable values for the components to realize either a voltage or a current transfer function of some specific orders. In this paper, we propose a true synthesis for three types of functions. It is proved that the minimal realization with all the passive components grounded is possible only for bi-linear functions; however, a wide range of functions can be synthesized with all the capacitors grounded.
