Electronically Tunable Current-Mode Second-Order Multifunctional Filter Using FTFNs and Dual-Output OTAs

An electronically tunable current-mode second-order multifunctional filter is described in this paper. The proposed filter consists of two four-terminal floating nullors (FTFNs), two dual-output OTAs and two grounded capacitors. The circuit can simultaneously realize the lowpass, bandpass and highpass current transfer functions from the same configuration without changing the circuit configuration and elements. The natural angular frequency we and the parameter wo/Q can be orthogonally controlled through adjusting the transconductance gain of OTA. PSPICE simulation results are employed to confirm the circuit performance.
