CCII-based high-valued inductance simulators with minumum number of active elements

This paper presents novel CCII-based circuit solutions for the implementation of grounded and floating inductance simulators for integrable low frequency applications. The circuits, implementing a minimum number of active components, allow the reduction and, in theory, the zeroing of the undesired inductance series resistance, with consequent increase of operating range towards the low frequencies. A novel idea to increase the value of the equivalent inductance achievable with CCII based topologies is presented. Simulation results, confirming the theoretical expectations, are also included.
