In this paper, a new CMOS current-mode single input and multi-outputs (SIMO) universal filter and quadrature oscillator with a similar circuit are proposed. The circuits only consist of three Current differencing transconductance amplifiers (CDTA) and two grounded capacitors, which are resistorless, and they are suitable for monolithic integration. The universal filter uses minimum CDTAs and pa...

This paper describes how to calculate the different harmonic sequences that should be filtered with a shunt selective active filter, for two control alternatives: load current measurement or line current measurement. These results are then generalized for shunt hybrid selective filters. Passive parameters are chosen considering the resonances with the electric system that appear. Design basis a...

In this paper the procedure of RF filter design using two active elements OTA is shown. The general method of filter design using OTA amplifiers, when the fully connected feedback network was designed around the two OTA elements, is shown. Autonomous circuits were gradually picked out from this general arrangement, using two to five passive elements. These autonomous circuits then serve as an i...

This paper presents the first low noise complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) deletedCMOS terahertz (THz) imager based on source modulation and in-pixel high-Q filtering. The 31 × 31 focal plane array has been fully integrated in a 0 . 13 μ m standard CMOS process. The sensitivity has been improved significantly by modulating the active THz source that lights the scene and performing o...

This paper discusses a method of designing a matched filter for a passive microwave sensor. This sensor receives pulse signals transmitted by a target active radar. Received signals can be categorized into two types due to either the pulse signals or noise. The method first estimates an autocorrelation function of the received signals. The autocorrelation of the pulse signals is then extracted ...

A flexible and versatile solution to voltage quality problems is offered by active power filters. Currently they are based on PWM converters and used to connect to low and medium voltage distribution system in shunt or in series. Active power filters can perform one or more of the functions required to compensate power systems in improving power quality. Hybrid Filter, which is a combination of...

A design method is proposed for the synthesis of linear, high-order, continuous-time filters using a unique translinear integrator circuit. Unlike previous attempts at incorporating translinear circuits into filter design, the proposed theory makes explicit use of the exponential nature of the bipolar transistor. This technique is based on the operational simulation of LC ladders. A 5th-order C...

The proper selection of the AC-side passive filter interconnecting the voltage source converter to the power supply is essential to obtain satisfactory performances of an active power filter system. The use of the LCL-type filter has the advantage of eliminating the high frequency switching harmonics in the current injected into the power supply. This paper is mainly focused on analyzing the in...

This paper presents a voltage mode cascadable single active element tunable first-order all-pass filter with a single passive component. The active element used to realise the filter is a new building block termed as differential difference dual-X current conveyor with a buffered output (DD-DXCCII). The filter is thus realized with the help of a DD-DXCCII, a capacitor, and a MOS transistor. By ...

We present a foot-mounted sensor system for pedestrian indoor and combined indoor/outdoor positioning. The proposed method is using a zero-velocity update scheme implemented as an Unscented Kalman filter. The technique employs a quaternion orientation representation and its performance is assessed using a custom developed sensor unit. The designed filter is tested against a more conventional Ex...
