Gawwwwd! You list makes me feel really old. Not only do I recognize
all your references, I knew "Ernie" personally... but I had Harry B.
Lee as my instructor, since I was in VI-B.

Heh, heh... No one could "splain" driving point synthesis like "Ernie".

But... Time moves on...

Y. W. Lee, I have met, Harry B. Lee?

I never had the pleasure.

Best Regards,

Network synthesis was widely researched, studied and taught back in the
1940 - 1970 era but... today it is seldom seen, used, or taught. There
are
however lots of older textbooks which cover this field in great depth.

One does not have to realize such designs with purely passive RLC
networks and, in appropriate frequency ranges, they can often be
synthesized with active RC networks [R, C and Op-Amps] by
appropriate transformations of the passive synthesis results.

See for instance...

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
