A BJT technology-based current-mode tunable all-pass filter

In this paper, a new bipolar technology-based configuration for providing inverting first-order current-mode (CM) all-pass filter response is proposed. One of the main advantages of the introduced active C topology is to have the property of electronic tunability of its pole frequency without requiring passive component matching condition. To show the performance of suggested filter, simulations are achieved by means of PSPICE program. Moreover, experimental test results are included.
