The floating immittance emulator is presented in four embodiments in which four new topologies for emulating floating immittance functions are detailed. Each circuit uses three current-feedback operational-amplifiers (CFOAs) and three passive elements. The present topologies can emulate lossless and lossy floating inductances; capacitance, resistance, and inductance multipliers; and frequency-dependent positive and negative resistances.
