A tunable impedance multiplier with high multiplication factor is described. A single externally connected resistor is used and the multiplier is free of passive elements. The circuit can realize a positive or a negative impedance multiplier. Applications of the design to low and high pass filters are also presented. The simulation and experimental results show that the new design enjoys a multiplication factor above 400 at 2 Hz-to 7 MHz.

Disclosed herein are tunable reactance circuits configured to present a tunable or variable capacitive reactance when energized. The circuits can include a switch configured to be controlled by a gate driver, the gate driver configured to receive a control signal indicating an on-time of the switch; a diode coupled antiparallel to a switch; and one or more capacitors coupled in parallel to the diode. The tunable capacitive reactance can be based on the on-time of the switch and a total capacitance value of the one or more capacitors. The exemplary tunable reactance circuits may be used in wireless power transmitters and/or receivers for efficient power transmission and/or to deliver a particular level of power to a load.
