Abstract

Abstract A supercapacitance element is disclosed having the input signal applied to both the inverting and non-inverting inputs of a single operational amplifier via two respective potentiometers made up of resistors except for the branch between the inverting input and the ungrounded input terminal which is constituted by a capacitor. The amplifier output is resistively connected to the inverting input of the amplifier and capacitively connected to the ungrounded input terminal.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 100 words
A multi-node immittance network producing between two input nodes an immittance with a real component proportional to the square of the frequency, one of said input nodes being ground, comprising: an operational amplifier having an inverting input, a non-inverting input and an output; a first admittance connected between said output and said inverting input; a second admittance connected directly between said output and the other of said input nodes; a third admittance connected between said non-inverting input and said other of said input nodes; and a fourth admittance connected between said inverting input and said other of said input nodes.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 100 words
