Impedance synthesis using modern active building blocks

Abstract

In this chapter, we present some prominent contributions made in the realization of gyrators and related impedances using electronic circuit building blocks of relatively more recent origin. Thus, we discuss the impedance synthesis using electronic circuit building blocks such as operational transresistance amplifier, Unity gain voltage follower/current follower, current-differencing buffered amplifier, voltage-differencing current conveyor (CC), current-differencing CC, current-differencing transconductance amplifier, current-follower transconductance amplifier, CC transconductance amplifier, voltage-differencing differential input buffered amplifier, voltage-differencing buffered amplifier and many others. Since the work on the use of all these building blocks done so far is by no means complete, we would also highlight what has not been attempted so far.
