Synthesis of multiple-input translinear element networks

We describe two systematic procedures for synthesizing mutlipleinput translinear element (MITE) networks that produce an output current that is equal to product of a number of input currents, each of which is raised to an arbitrary rational power. By using the first procedure, we obtain a MITE network, called a two-layer network, that is relatively insensitive to mismatch in the MITE weight values. By using the second procedure, we arrive at a MITE network, called a cascade network, that reduces the fan-in required of each MITE. We illustrate each of these procedures with an example.
