Active Negative Resistance Model That Is Not Piecewise Linear
Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
This Demonstration models an operational-amplifier (opamp) based negative resistance (NR) implementation. Traditionally, negative resistance has been modeled with piecewise linear (PWL) equations. This model, however, is continuous and differentiable at all points.
