This paper presents an all pass voltage mode filter based on recently proposed active building block namely differential voltage current conveyor transconductance amplifier (DVCCTA). The proposed configuration uses single active and two grounded passive components which makes it suitable for IC implementation. Its input impedance is high and output impedance is low, hence suitable for cascading...

A high-current, wide-band transconductance amplifier is described that provides an unprecedented level of output current at high frequencies with exceptional stability. It is capable of converting a signal voltage applied to its input into a groundreferenced output rms current up to 100 A over a frequency range from dc to 100 kHz with a useable frequency extending to 1 MHz. The amplifier has a ...

New control circuits and algorithms are frequently proposed to control the impedance (Z) source inverter in efficient way with added benefits. As a result, several modified control techniques have been proposed in recent years. Although these techniques are clearly superior to the simple boost control method which was initially proposed along with the Z-source inverter (ZSI), little or conf...

Noninvasive detection is a fundamental prerequisite for pervasive healthcare system and biosensing. Along with different noninvasive techniques such as ultrasound, X-ray, magnetic resonance and optical imaging, electrical impedance spectroscopy is emerging as more suitable technique for tissue level diagnosis. This paper presents a noninvasive technique for bioelectrical impedance estimation by...

A novel CMOS operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) is presented, using a fully differential singlestage core OTA as input stage and a differential to single current converter as output stage, each biased at a separate current level. A large gain-bandwidth (GBW) product (2.7 MHz) and a high slew-rate (5 V//.LS) can be obtained by applying a large bias current to the core OTA. Due to the c...

A new current-mode multifunction filter using minimum number of passive elements is proposed. The proposed filter has single-input and four high-impedance outputs. It uses four passive elements (two capacitors and two resistors) and four dual output second generation current conveyors. Each output provides a different filter response, namely, low-pass, high-pass, band-pass and band-reject. The ...

A new high performance second-generation CMOS current conveyor architecture is presented. It is built using a differential flipped voltage follower as its input buffer stage and a cascode current mirror as output stage. It is characterized by very low output impedance. It provides gain independent high bandwidth when used to implement a programmable gain voltage amplifier. Simulation and experi...

In this paper, a high-efficiency and compact AlGaN/GaN heterojunction field-effect transistor (HFET) power amplifier integrated with a microstrip antenna at 7.25 GHz is presented for RF front-end circuit applications. A microstrip circular sector antenna is employed as both a radiator and frequency-dependent output load. Higher order harmonics from the HFET in nonlinear operation are reactively...

The first derivative thoracic impedance cardiogram, phonocardiogram, and electrocardiogram were recorded in three groups of 22 subjects each. In Group 1 (control), simultaneous impedance cardiogram, phonocardiogram, and aortic valve echocardiograms showed that the X point of the impedance cardiogram occurred synchronously with the aortic second heart sound and with echocardiographic aortic valv...

A novel current-mode first-order all-pass filter with low input and high output impedance feature is presented. The circuit realization employs a single dual-X-second-generation current conveyor, one grounded capacitor, and one grounded resistor, which is a minimum component realization. The theoretical results are verified using PSPICE simulation program with TSMC 0.35 μm CMOS process parameters.
