Single-Input Six-Output Voltage-Mode Filter Using Universal Voltage Conveyors

In this letter a new structure of multifunctional frequency filter using a universal voltage conveyor (UVC) is presented. The multifunctional circuit can realize a low-pass, high-pass and band-pass filter. All types of frequency filter can be realized as inverting or non-inverting. Advantages of the proposed structure are the independent control of the quality factor at the cut-off frequency and the low output impedance of output terminals. The computer simulations and measuring of particular frequency filters are depicted.
