Passive Fully Floating Emulator of Memristive Device for Laboratory Experiments

A simple emulator of memristive system, containing only passive electronic components, namely resistors, capacitor, and no-DC biased transistor is described. Unlike other hitherto published emulators it does not exploit DC power supply. Moreover, it provides effective emulation of grounded as well as floating memristive systems. The circuit idea enables interesting experiments, demonstrating the well-known fingerprints of memristive systems such as the pinched v-i hysteresis loops. Key-Words: Memristive system, passive system, floating two-terminal element, pinched hysteresis loop.
