Another class of linear models uses ideal, linear, lumped-parameter circuit elements (ideal resistors, capacitors, inductors, and dependent sources) to characterize active devices in terms of ...

Up until today, the circuit element had only been described in a series of mathematical equations written by Leon Chua, who in 1971 was an engineering student studying non-linear circuits.

Such nonlinear and charge-storage elements must be reduced to simplified equivalent circuits before being entered in the system equations. These simplifications are required because the matrices ...

Non-linear circuit elements include fixed resistors that become hot, and filament bulbs which become hot and glow. The shape of the I-V graph changes as temperature of the component increases.

Another key advantage is its ability to handle circuits of any linear circuit, including black boxes with measured frequency responses. This includes elements with complex frequency- dependent ...

Non-linear circuit elements include fixed resistors that become hot, and filament bulbs which become hot and glow. The shape of the I-V graph changes as temperature of the component increases.

At the nanoscale, the conductance of a coherent conductor is reduced by the back-action of the circuit in which it is inserted. The effect has been primarily studied for cases where it is small ...
