Realization of the Chua Family of New Nonlinear Network Elements Using the Current Conveyor

In a recent paper, Chua [l] introduced three new network elements, namely, the mutator, the scalar, and the reflector. These, together with the rotator that he introduced earlier [2], form a family of four basic elements that prove to be useful in the area of nonlinear network synthesis as well as suggesting many unusual circuit applications. This correspondence extends the work of Chua by providing a more unified treatment of the circuit realization of the four elements. The current conveyor [3] will be used to obtain implementations that are in closer match to the ideal equations defining the elements.
