Novel floating negative immittance convertor

A network realisation for a floating negative immittance convertor (FNIC) using second generation current conveyor (CCII) elements has been proposed. The novelties of the scheme are no design constraints involving matched components, use of only the nominal termination component with ideal CCII devices. Even with nonideal but matched devices, a true FNIC realisation does not require any additional component matching. With nonideal and unmatched devices, a precise bilateral FNIC is realisable simply by connecting a single compensating component appropriately. The sensitivities of the elements of the [Y] matrix relative to active device deviations have been shown to be extremely low. A network synthesis application of the FNIC has also been suggested.
