Meminductor Emulator Based on a Modified Antoniou’s Gyrator Circuit

Abstract

In this work, we presented the design and simulation of a new flux-controlled meminductor emulator based on a modified version of the well-known Antoniou’s inductor simulator circuit. The constitutive theoretical equations of meminductance are presented and subsequently correlated with the electrical behavior of Antoniou’s circuit, hence illustrating its practical meminductive behavior with a proper selection of feedback impedances. After that, the feasibility of a practical implementation using o -the-shelf devices is illustrated firstly for a two-state meminductor and secondly for a continuous-state meminductor by means of SPICE simulations. It was also demonstrated that this emulator can operate at di erent frequencies and input signals constituting one of the simplest and most versatile meminductor emulators to date.
