Behaviour of a building block for intrinsic evolution of analogue signal shaping and filtering circuits

Abstract

A more general development of a building block for intrinsic evolution of analogue hardware is introduced and explained. A wide variety of linear and non-linear instantaneous and time-related characteristics can be created with the block, and blocks may be interconnected in a very general way. Examples of different types of achievable characteristic are shown and results of a comparison of different search algorithms in intrinsically evolving a linear band-pass filter are presented.
