The Antoniou Inductance-Simulation Circuit Derivation

Valentin Siderskiy

Exactly how does the Inductance-Simulation Circuit work like an inductor? We can start by asking, how should it work?. From an electrical circuit point of view, what properties make an inductor an inductor?

The key is how it works in terms of an electrical circuit!

As we know, an inductor can be described by referring to two domains of energy: electrical and magnetic. In this case, we are not trying to use the magnetic fields the inductor creates; we only care about current to voltage relationship in the circuit that the inductor used in. This would be a different conversation if we were trying to use the inductor as a transformer, or in any other application that uses an inductor’s magnetic field.
