Novel universal voltage-mode biquad filter with three inputs and one output using only two current conveyors

Abstract

Abstract A new universal voltage-mode second-order filter with three inputs and one output employing two current conveyors, two capacitors and three resistors is presented. With the same number of passive elements, the new filter employs one less current conveyor than the latest published paper. Also, the new filter does not need a voltage follower. The new circuit still offers the following advantageous features of the published filter of this category: realization of all-pass, notch, high-pass, bandpass and low-pass signals from the same configuration, no requirements for component-matching conditions, orthogonal control of ω0 and Q, low active and passive sensitivities.
