Abstract. A device for formation of standard signals of the shape of power function is proposed. The device is constructed as an n-cascaded differentiator on series-connected RC-circuits. The device does not contain operational amplifiers in differentiator circuits and therefor avoids distortions of the shape of signals of a disbalance caused by time delays in cascades. The possibility of applying high-voltage test pulses in the passive circuit of the differentiator makes it possible to increase the resolving power of the converter and increase the number of measured generalized parameters of the passive multi-element two-terminal network. Analytical expressions are presented for calculating generalized conductivity parameters of dipoles, including objects with a short-circuit between poles at a direct current. 

Keywords: generalized parameters, multicomponent two-terminal networks, differentiators
