Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Non-Foster circuits which does not satisfy Foster’s Reactance Theorem (the reactance is an increasing function for frequency) attract increased attention. Negative Impedance Converter (NIC) circuits are ones of Non-Foster circuits and transform the terminated impedance to the input impedance with the opposite sign. This technique is proposed to be applied to the broadband matching of antenna input impedance and to frequency independent right/left-handed composite transmission line of Metamaterials. The effect of the Non-Foster circuits introduced into the right/left-handed composite transmission line is investigated. The experimental RF evaluation of NIC circuits terminated by resistant load is demonstrated in this paper.
