Current-mode sinusoidal oscillators using single FTFN

New current-mode sinusoidal oscillator circuits are presented. The proposed circuits use single four-terminal floating nullor and, at most, eight passive elements. Two of the oscillator circuits use grounded capacitors and enjoy the independent grounded-element control of the frequency of oscillation and the condition of oscillation. Experimental results are included.
