Abstract

© 2016 IEEE. Reichert's theorem (1969), a fundamental theorem of network synthesis, completely characterises minimum reactive synthesis of positive-real biquadratic impedances. The crucial part of the original approach depends on a complicated topological argument. This paper provides an alternative proof using the recently introduced concept of regular positive-real functions.
