Implementation Details
An integrator is a circuit that its output signal is the time integral of the input signal.
Following is the circuit in the example file integrator_example.icp.
The input signal to the integrator is a Sine wave at 10 GHz. Following is the output from the integrator overlaid with the input. The output signal (the integration of the sine wave) is a cosine wave.
