Abstract
This paper extends the problem of double-port matching of two frequencydependent non-Foster positive real impedances to that of multi-port matching. Givenn non-Foster positive real impedances and the preassigned transducer power-gain characteristics, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the existence of a lossless, reciprocaln-port equalizer terminated in these impedances at the ports satisfying the prescribed transducer power-gain characteristics.
