Abstract
The design of wideband second generation current conveyors implemented from bipolar transistors is reconsidered in order to increase the value of thei r input resistance, R-Y, at Y. This has been obtained by adding two supplem entary transistors only. SPICE simulation results are given. They indicate that this improvement is obtained without damage to the other dynamic chara cteristics. The increase of R-Y is also confirmed through measurements.
