An Operational Transconductance Amplifier-based Memcapacitor and Meminductor

Previous studies have focused on the new mem-elements after the experimental realization of memristor which is the the fourth passive circuit element. This research presents a simple operational transconductance amplifier (OTA)-based memcapacitor and meminductor emulator circuit that does not comprise a mutator circuit. Each emulator was verified using the LTspice simulation program, and the simulation results were found to be compatible with the characteristic behaviors of the memcapacitor and meminductor.
