A procedure for the design of allpole filters with low sensitivity to component tolerance is presented. The filters are based on resistance–capacitance (RC) ladder structures combined with single operational amplifiers. It is shown that by the use of impedance tapering, in which L-sections of the RC ladder are successively impedance-scaled upwards, from the driving source to the amplifier input...

Deschamps’ theorem for n-terminal complementary structures is reviewed. An extension to Deschamps’ theorem for a class of three-terminal bounded structures with one axis of symmetry is presented. It is shown that, for these structures, a simple relationship between the impedances of the odd mode of the original structure and the admittances of the even mode of the complementary structure exists...

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) may be improved by the use of naturally occurring nerve signals as feedback signals. However, the usefulness of the recorded electroneurogram (ENG) signals from nerve cuff electrodes depends on the amount of electromyogram (EMG) interference and stimulus artefact present. Tripolar cuff electrodes reduce interference but suffer from imbalance, which degrad...

—In this paper, analysis and synthesis approach for two new variants within the Class-EF power amplifier (PA) family is elaborated. These amplifiers are classified here as Class-amplifier topologies developed in this paper simultaneously satisfy the Class-EF optimum impedance requirements at fundamental frequency, second, and third harmonics as well as simultaneously providing matching to the c...

The properties of a differential transconductance amplifier coupled with a four channel measurement system are exploited in order to reach a very high sensitivity in current noise measurements. In particular, it is demonstrated that, in proper conditions, the noise contributions coming from the active and passive devices that make up the transresistance amplifier can be virtually eliminated. Mo...

A new compensating system is proposed to reduce the ratio error and the phase error of inductive voltage dividers and standard voltage transformers, operating at no load. An electronic amplifier reduces the input current, which is the main cause of error in low-frequency applications, while at the same time the input impedance is greatly increased.

The coaxial transformer-coupled push-pull circuitry has been used widely in HF and VHF amplifiers for many decades without significant changes in the topology of the transformers. Basic changes over the years concerned the construction and turns ratio of the transformers as has been imposed upon the newer technologies active devices demands. The balun transmission line transformers applied in p...

This paper presents a fully integrated lock-in amplifier intended for nanowire gas sensing. The nanowire will change its conductivity according to the concentration of an absorbing gas. To ensure an accurate nanowire impedance measurement, a lock-in technique is implemented to attenuate the low frequency noise and offset by synchronous demodulation or phase-sensitive detection (PSD). The dualch...
