Floating Lossy Inductance Simulator with Negative Impedance Converters

Abstract

Negative impedance converter (NIC) is a useful component in the circuit synthesis theory especially for active RC filter design. In this paper, usefulness of the NIC is shown in a floating inductance realization topology that is an alternative application area for the component. A new floating parallel RL realization topology employing two negative impedance converters and three passive components is presented
