Synthesis of RC active networks using finite gain controlled sources†

Abstract

This paper presents an active RC synthesis of rational transfer functions using unity gain controlled sources. The denominator polynomial of the transfer function is decomposed in such a way that the pole sensitivity can be optimized to a prescribed value, the modulus and the argument of which can be easily controlled. The basic configuration can be used to realize the right–half (R.H.) s–plane trnnsimission zeros. The present method is compared with those of Hakim and Cheung. The paper includes one design example.
