In a recent paper [1], Giannetti considered the thermal noise generated by a resistor R on a generic output port in any linear network. He reasoned that, because the contribution of the thermal noise of the resistor to the output noise of the circuit vanishes for both R! 0 and R ! 1, there should be a resistor value whose contribution to the output noise is maximal. In order to find that value,...

In order to improve the accuracy of the digital to analog conversion (DAC), the reflection and crosstalk problems of the signal transmission process were studied in this paper. The Hyperlynx software was used for the simulation study of reflection and crosstalk problems of the master clock signal in the DAC circuit. Source end cascading termination resistor and remote end termination resistor a...

Chua's circuit is a simple electronic network which exhibits a variety of bifurcation phenomena and attractors. The circuit consists of two capacitors, an inductor, a linear resistor, and a nonlinear resistor. This paper describes the design methodology for a robust practical op amp implementation of Chua's circuit. In addition, we present experimental results and SPICE simulations for a workin...

We investigate the percolation properties of a random network of non-directed bonds (resistors) and urbitrurily oriented directed bonds (diodes). For the square lattice, there is a multicritical line which connects the isotropic percolation threshold with a network fully occupied by randomly oriented diodes (‘random Manhattan’). Along this line, symmetry and invariance properties are used to de...

1 Implementing Radial Basis Functions Using Bump-Resistor Networks John G. Harris University of Florida EE Dept., 436 CSE Bldg 42 Gainesville, FL 32611 [email protected] .edu Abstract| Radial Basis Function (RBF) networks provide a powerful learning architecture for neural networks [6]. We have implemented a RBF network in analog VLSI using the concept of bump-resistors. A bump-resistor is a ...
