Active filter synthesis based on nodal admittance matrix expansion

Active network synthesis is important for circuit designer to find new circuits with desired performance. In this paper, a method of Tow-Thomas (TT) Bi-quad band-pass filter circuit generation methods is proposed using nullor representation of the operational amplifier (OPA), and a method for synthesizing active band-stop filters is presented, both of which start from voltage transfer function and linked infinity variables to describe nullors in both nodal admittance matrix (NAM) and port admittance matrix of the circuit to be synthesized. The Tow-Thomas band-stop filter circuit and Åkerberg-Mossberg band-stop filter circuit are synthesized by nodal admittance matrix expansion on the same port admittance matrix.
