Transfer function synthesis using a finite-gain amplifier

Abstract

An active RC circuit employing a single finite–gain amplifier, one two–port and two ono–ports, has been presented here for the realization of n general voltage transfer function without positive real axis zeros. The comparative merits of the scheme with respect to that proposed by Rao (1969) are that the synthesis procedure is simpler and the number of passive circuit elements required is smaller. The coefficient of realization of the synthesized transfer function can always be made equal to unity with the scheme. A few examples are included to illustrate the synthesis procedure.
