Realization of a multivariable positive real function with polynomial derivative being a reactance function (Q788698)

The authors consider the class M of multivariable positive real rational functions with unity degree in all variables whose polynomial derivatives are reactance functions. Two general multivariable network structures are established whose input impedance functions belong to M. In addition, the necessary and sufficient conditions are established for synthesis of an n-variable rational positive real function which has unity degree in each variable as the input impedance of a resistively-terminated network which is a cascade of two lossless twoports separated by a series inductor or a shunt capacitor.
