Hi,

Can someone post up a link to the website where it shows how the general equation for a generalized impedence converter (GIC) is being derived?

Thanks.
 

Calculation is easy (see attachement).

*You start with the original (basic) GIC structure consisting of two NIC in series.
*Because of stability, two different NIC types are necessary because TypA allows a negative load impedance and typ B allows a negative source impedance.
*Then, calculate the overall input impedance
* As a last step you arrive at the classical form (Antoniou) by a simple but intelligent modification of the structure. For ideal opamps it is allowed to interchange some inputs of both opamps. (see below)
*This is even an advantage over the original structure because for real opamps the non-idealities cancel each other up to a certain extent.

Since (for ideal opamps) all inputs have the same voltage you simply can exchange the non-inverting inputs of both opamps. This leads to the Antoniou structure.
