Tutorial for active inductor replacement or simulation of the corresponding circuit ?

At the moment, I have no tutorial (software) at hand, however, it should not be a problem for you to find some relevant articles/papers/tutorials via google, since active inductor design is one of the most favorite design method for active filters.
Search for GIC (generalized impedance converter) or simply for "active inductor". The GIC requires two matched opamps.
If lossy inductors are allowed you can use the NIC (neg. impedance converter) with only one opamp.
If you have some specific questions regarding active inductor application, don�t hesitate to ask again - however, there is one thing you should keep in mind: With 2 opamps you only can simulate an active inductor which is grounded !!!
