Controlled Gain Current and Differential Voltage Amplifier and study of its application in simple adjustable oscillator

Presented contribution of the paper deals with novel active element Controlled Gain Current and Differential Voltage Amplifier (CG-CDVA) and its implementation in a very simple adjustable oscillator. Explanation of principle of the active element is complemented by possible behavioral model based on commercially available active elements. Therefore we are able to establish measurement setup that is suitable for preliminary experimental purposes. The proposed oscillator was analyzed by common symbolic approaches and as well verified experimentally. Important results of typical analyses were discussed.
