Active inductor assemblies for data over power systems and associated methods

A station for a data over power (DoP) system, the station comprising:

• a positive power rail;
• a negative power rail;
• a first port configured to electrically couple the station to a first electrical conductor of the DoP system;
• a second port configured to electrically couple the station to a second electrical conductor of the DoP system;
• a first active inductor, the first active inductor including:
• a first pass element electrically coupled between the positive power rail and the first port, and
• first control circuitry configured to control the first pass element such that:
• the first pass element emulates a first inductor in response to a change in voltage across the first pass element, and
• the first pass element regulates a voltage drop across the first pass element to a first predetermined value during steady-state operation of the first active inductor;
• and
• a second active inductor, the second active inductor including:
• a second pass element electrically coupled between the negative power rail and the second port, and
• second control circuitry configured to control the second pass element such that:
• the second pass element emulates a second inductor in response to a change in voltage across the second pass element, and
• the second pass element regulates a voltage drop across the second pass element to a second predetermined value during steady-state operation of the second active inductor.
