A Riordan-type gyrator circuit, consisting of two stages of differential operational amplifiers and five inductancedetermining impedances, is improved to avoid circuit latch-up at turn-on and to double the operative frequency range. The improvement involves deriving the input signal for the noninverting input terminal of the second stage from a voltage divider at the output of the first stage rather than from the same input signal applied to the non-inverting input terminal of the first stage. In addition to its gyrator function, the circuit can be modified to serve as an oscillator by employing positive feedback around the first stage. By rendering the voltage divider adjustable at the output of the first stage, the input conductance of the circuit is rendered variable between positive and negative conductances. The circuit also permits simulation of floating and mutually coupled inductors.

A supercurrent device comprising a pair of weak-link regions connected in a superconducting loop is driven by a current source. In series with the loop is an inductor for generating a magnetic field (i) proportional to the current flowing through the loop and (ii) the flux of which extends through the loop. The device, which exhibits both negative resistance and discrete supercurrent states at zero voltage, functions in several ways including: as a negative resistance oscillator, as a memory device, or as a highly sensitive linear magnetometer.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a design structure and method for compensating for a change in frequency of oscillation (FOO) of an LC-tank VCO that includes a first node; second node; inductor; first capacitive network (FCN) that allows the design structure to obtain a target FOO; compensating capacitive (CCN) network that compensates for a change in the design structure's FOO; second capacitive network (SCN) that allows the design structure to obtain a desired FOO; a filter that supplies a voltage to the SCN and is coupled to the SCN; a transconductor that compensates for a change in the design structure's FOO; and a sub-circuit coupled to the SCN that generates and supplies voltage to the CCN sufficient to allow the CCN to compensate for a reduction in the design structure's FOO. The first and second nodes are coupled to the inductor, FCN, CCN, SCN, and sub-circuit.

An oscillator includes a resonator section structured such that a dielectric is interposed between first and second conductors and such that the first and second conductors are electrically connected to a resonant tunneling diode, a capacitor section structured such that the dielectric is interposed between the first and second conductors, a line section configured to electrically connect the resonator section and the capacitor section in parallel to each other, and a resistor section configured to electrically connect the first and second conductors to each other. A first position of the resonator section and a second position of the capacitor section are connected to each other by the line section so that the first position and the second position are substantially electrically equivalent to each other in a wavelength range larger than a wavelength of an electromagnetic wave that resonates in the resonator section.
