p-port active RC networks: Short-circuit admittance-matrix synthesis with a minimum number of capacitors

A synthesis procedure, easily implemented as a digital computer program, is presented whereby any matrix of real rational functions of the complex frequency variable can be realized as the short-circuit admittance matrix of a -port active network. The realization requires a minimum number of capacitors- degree -and no more than inverting common ground voltage-controlled voltage sources. All the capacitors and ports are grounded.
