Abstract – A voltage-mode (VM), multi-input single-output (MISO) type multifunction biquad is proposed. It uses only one operational transresistance amplifier (OTRA) as the active element, while previously reported VM multifunction filters require more OTRAs. Proposed MISO type biquad configuration can realize all five different filter transfer functions. Theoretical results are verified with P...

In this paper, a new voltage-mode quadrature oscillator using minimum number of active and passive component is proposed. The proposed circuit employs single modified DVCC, two grounded capacitor and two grounded resistors, which is ideal for IC implementation. The active and passive sensitivity are no more than unity. The proposed circuit is verified through PSPICE simulation results.

In this paper multiphase oscillators built using fractional-order allpass filters are presented. We examine the theory behind their operation and demonstrate their usefulness in the design of both multiphase and quadrature oscillators. Case design examples are given for various scenarios, while PSPICE and experimental results verify their operation

The paper presents examinations of human’s greater part of the circulatory system, modeled as an electric net. The similarities between human’s greater circulation and the electric model have been evolved. The analysis of the greater circulation was performed in PSPICE – an environment of electric circuits modeling. The designed model allows to analyze human’s greater circulation in physiologic...
