The Impedance Multiplication-Division Operators are made up of
non-reciprocal network elements, each of which produces an input
impedance that is related to the multiplication-division of its load
impedances. The Impedance Multiplication-Division Operator can be
implemented in a number of embodiments, such as the Positive Impedance
Multiplication-Division Operator which produces a new non-reciprocal
(n+1)-port, n.gtoreq.4, network element which has the distinguishing
property that if three 2-terminal impedances, Z.sub.2(s), Z.sub.3(s), and
Z.sub.4(s) are connected at ports 2, 3 and 4 of a
.sub.1PIMDOR.sub.2,4.sup.3, the input impedance offered by this loaded
4-port at port 1 is
Z.sub.(1)(s)=Z.sub.2.sup.-1(s)Z.sub.3(s)Z.sub.4.sup.-1(s).
