It is in the same class of parts with inductancless inductors,
and capacitanceless capacitors are in.
With lossless resistance they can form
a lossless, non-energy storing, extremely low/high Q, network.
No need for tuning either!
(sorry-just not serious today)

"Lossless resistance?" Would that be zero resistance,
or perhaps a negative resistance, as in the active part of
a tunnel diode's V-I characteristic?

I am a career EE, with a couple of graduate EE degrees;
and this is something entirely new to me. Could you explain
this concept, and/or provide some references?

Thanks, Ed

Lossless resistance makes volts per amp. Inductors and capacitors are
lossless because they only store energy and give it all back.

A lossless resistance stores no energy. Its action is immediate.

An inductance or capacitance with zero reactance also stores no energy
and makes no volts per amp as opposition.

Heh...must be the principle behind this antenna...
