Negative Resistance

(contd.,) v is voltage across the resistor in

volts i is the current in amps through the
resistor R the resistance in Ohms (W) G is the
conductance in Siemens (S)
A negative resistor (conductor) can multiply a
variable by a negative constant, and is used
for loss compensation, amplification and
oscillation 22 Signal Processing Functions of
One-port Networks 23 Signal processing If
voltage is the dependent variable current
becomes independent variable and vice-versa
in one-port networks Different relationships
between independent variable and dependent
variable can be created using different
combinations of network elements 24 Nature
of one-port networks
A voltage source should not be shorted A
current source should not be opened 25
Conversion of variable (v to i and i to v) A
resistor (R) converts a current into a voltage

as long as its value does not go to infinity

(open circuit). A conductor (G) converts a
voltage into current as long as its value is not
infinity (short circuit). 26 Attenuation If the
voltage and current sources have finite source
resistances This is equivalent to multiplying
the independent variable by a constant less
