Abstract

An active-C biquadratic filter structure is proposed which consists of only seven OTAs and two grounded capacitors. The proposed circuit can simultaneously realize lowpass, bandpass and highpass transfer functions without changing circuit topology. This technique provides many advantages which include low passive and active sensitivities and, moreover, its Q-factor is electronically tunable and separately from the tuning of the natural angular frequency ${\omega}_o$. PSPICE simulation results are obtained that confirm the theoretical analysis.
