Abstract:
An electronic circuit system for signal processing comprising:a plurality of individually adjustable building blocks wherein each of the building blocks having a similar circuit topology that further comprises: an interconnected set of passive components and a number of Bipolar transistors wherein each of said Bipolar transistors is provided with an adjustable value of an Electrically Equivalent Emitter Geometry (EEEG), defined as an emitter area for conducting electrical current through the respective Bipolar transistor; and a vector quantity, called a Common Factor (CF), being defined as a vector ratio between the set of EEEGs of said number of Bipolar transistors whereby each of the plurality of individually adjustable building blocks is so adjusted in a manner so that the CF of each of the plurality of individually adjustable building blocks do not share an identical vector value to achieve a set of desirable output signals with an improved characteristics as compared to a set of output signals produced by another electronic circuit system wherein the CF of each of the plurality of individually adjustable building blocks share an identical vector value.
