Positive and Negative delays

Positive delays are easy, if you have an appropriatespace.
Record and play is also possible.
No way to make ideal (unconditional) negative delays.
No lumped systems (L = 0) can produce ideal positiveor negative delays.

Problems in cascading
It is possible to increase the advancement as large as thepulse width or more, but
The advancement increases slowly; 1/
n.
The order m of lowpass filters must be increased.
The system becomes very sensitive to noises. (A hugegain outside of the band)

Conclusion
A stand-alone (battery-operated) demonstration boxBattery operatedNo extra equipment such as an oscilloscope or afunction generator needed
Large negative delays 0.5s are achievedexperimentally.
25% of pulse width
Larger delay with cascading is possible (in priciple).Advancement can be larger than the pulse width.
Filter stage plays an essential role.The start of event (cause) is located before thefilters.
