Abstract :
In this work we ask the fundamental question: is it possible to achieve single-pole behavior using a single grounded URC? To answer this question affirmatively, we present two novel integrator topologies. They both use a single grounded uniformly distributed RC line instead of pure capacitors. They have important advantages compared to the topologies presented in the literature which require either pairs of exactly commensurate uniformly distributed RC lines or other distributed structures of complex geometry
