Design and Implementation of a Floating Meminductor Emulator upon Riordan Gyrator

Abstract

In this communication we present the design, simulation and implementation of a floating flux-controlled meminductor emulator based on the Riordan gyrator. Firstly, the circuit is presented theoretically, from its original version to emulate inductors to its adaptation for floating meminductors. Once its theoretical equations are presented, using SPICE simulations, we demonstrate the feasibility of this implementation by means of off-the-shelf components and a memristor, or a memristor emulator, for different inputs signals and frequencies in both grounded and floating configurations. Finally, a low-frequency breadboard-level implementation is included to prove its practicality.
