AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF SIMULATED GROUNDED AND FLOATING INDUCTANCES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN FILTERS

Abstract

The dissertation presents a comprehensive review of the work available in the literature in the field of simulated grounded and floating inductances, The results of an experimental study of both the types of simulated inductances (employing the least number of operational amplifiers, resistors and capacitors) are reported in various tables and graphs incorporated in the dissertation. The application of these simulated inductances are shown in the fabrication and testing of high-pass, low-pass and band-pass filters in the form of ladder networks which are supposed to have the lowest sensitivities to component variations. A number of topics in the sphere of simulated inductances which need further investigations are out-lined at the end of the dissertation.
