Universal active current filters using single second-generation current conveyor

Two novel universal active current filters, one of which has multiple outputs and the other of which has a single output and high output impedance, employing a single negative second-generation current conveyor, three position-fixed capacitors and four/five position-fixed resistors are proposed. The proposed networks with the advantages of low passive sensitivities can obtain second-order lowpass, bandpass, highpass, notch and allpass current signals by adjusting the magnitudes of a grounded resistor and a grounded capacitor provided that another resistor is separable. The resonance angular frequency and quality factor are insensitive to the current tracking error of the nonideal CCII–.
