Distributed RC active two-port network and voltage amplifier provides advantage over lumped elements in that second-order bandpass function is obtained with single distributed passive element. Incorporating positive and negative feedback loops provides improvement in Q, sensitivity, and gain-Q sensitivity product compared to single-loop networks.

Tapered distributed RC low pass network configuration with voltage-controlled sources for sensitivity reduction low and high Q factors
A new distributed-active circuit is described that has a lower sensitivity and utilizes its capacitor area more effectively than the circuit presented in an earlier correspondence by Howe (1969). The described circuit is approximately 2.8 times as effective in its use of capacitance, a fact which is directly translatable into savings of space and weight.

Distributed-lumped-active network to produce transfer function with pair of high Q zero real part sensitivity poles
The use of digital computational techniques in the analysis and synthesis of DLA (distributed lumped active) networks is considered. This class of networks consists of three distinct types of elements, namely, distributed elements (modeled by partial differential equations), lumped elements (modeled by algebraic relations and ordinary differential equations), and active elements (modeled by algebraic relations). Such a characterization is applicable to a broad class of circuits, especially including those usually referred to as linear integrated circuits, since the fabrication techniques for such circuits readily produce elements which may be modeled as distributed, as well as the more conventional lumped and active ones.

In extending Howe's (1969) work on design equations for active distributed RC networks, expressions relating the nondominant pole locations of a distributed-active low-pass network to the dominant pole locations are derived, along with expressions relating the Q of the nondominant poles to the Q of the dominant poles. It is shown that, in general, the effect of the nondominant poles is very small.
