Electronically Tunable Current gain FTFN using OTAs

This paper presents the realization of a four-terminal floating nullor (FTFN), which is simple configuration comprised three OTAs. The external bias currents of the OTAs can electronically adjust the current gain of the proposed FTFN. The realization method is suitable for implementation in monolithic integrated form. To demonstrate the circuit performances, the proposed FTFN was simulated by the use of the PSPICE analog simulation program and implemented using the commercially available OTAs. The simulation and experimental results verifying the performances of the proposed circuit are agreed with the theoretical values. Some application example in the design of the proposed FTFN as electronically tunable active element are also included.
