Abstract :
This paper shows a realization of circuit functions (such as a voltage transfer function, a transfer immittance, a driving-point immittance) with sα (-1<α<1) characteristics. The circuit shown in this paper is realized by cascaded connection of a finite number of two-port networks consisting of operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) and capacitors. By changing the value of conductance of OTAs, changeable characteristics with respect to α is obtained. The value of α can be changed by adjusting the controlling current of the OTAs
