Negative Impedance Converter - Basic Circuit and Analysis

Basic Circuit and Analysis

INIC is a non-inverting amplifier (the op-amp and the voltage divider R1, R2 on the figure) with a resistor (R3) connected between its output and input. The op-amp output voltage is

The current going from the operational amplifier output through resistor toward the source is, and

So the input experiences an opposing current that is proportional to, and the circuit acts like a resistor with negative resistance

In general, elements, and need not be pure resistances (i.e., they may be capacitors, inductors, or impedance networks).

Famous quotes containing the words basic, circuit and/or analysis:

    The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?
    Ron Taffel (20th century)

    The Father and His angelic hierarchy
    That made the magnitude and glory there
    Stood in the circuit of a needle’s eye.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.
    Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
