Abstract :
A method is discussed which uses operational amplifiers to realize a system function T(s) whose poles and zeros are independently controlled. When the poles are simple and different, (n + 1) operational amplifiers are required, n of which are used as integrators, plus one that is used as a summing amplifier, where n is the degree of the denominator polynomial. When the poles occur in conjugate complex pairs or when higher order poles exist, more than (n + 1) operational amplifiers are required.
