Single-resistance-controlled quadrature oscillator and universal biquad filter using CFOAs
This paper presents new single-resistance-controlled (SRC) sinusoidal quadrature oscillator and universal biquad filter circuits with reduced number of passive elements using only two current-feedback operational amplifiers (CFOAs). The first proposed oscillator configuration comprising two CFOAs, three resistors and two capacitors provides two sinusoidal voltage outputs in phase quadrature. The circuit has the advantage of independent control of the condition of oscillation and the oscillation frequency through a single resistor. The second proposed biquad filter configuration consisting of only two CFOAs, two resistors and two capacitors realizes all the standard types of the biquadratic filter functions at low-impedance output without any component matching conditions. The filter also provides orthogonal control of the natural angular frequency (?0) ( ? 0 ) and the bandwidth (BW). In addition, both proposed circuit configurations have good active and passive sensitivity performances. PSPICE simulations and experimental results based on commercially available AD844-type CFOAs are included, showing the excellent performance of the proposed configurations.
