Synthesis of Electronic Circuits Structures on the Basis of Active Switches

A novel idea for synthesis of electronic circuits’ structures is presented. It is based on the use of ‘active switches’ which can be considered as circuit implementation of the pathological elements since they connect and/or disconnect different elements in the circuits and thus impose on their terminals specific voltages and currents in a similar way as nullors and mirrors. Furthermore, the proposed technique consists of using a combinatorial approach; this allows not only demystifying the process of finding new circuits structures, but also opens large research areas for proposing new ones, as it will be shown in the chapter.
