As the transistors are continuously scaling down, it becomes necessary to reduce voltage supply and power requirements of the circuit to increase its performance and stability. Whereas, current- mode devices require less number of stages with high output impedance results in improved performance and large bandwidth as compared to voltage-mode techniques. OTA are current-mode device that takes voltage as input and produces current as output with high gain and large bandwidth. The frequency bands were parameters were determined such as the cutoff frequency (fc), the band width (BW), the quality factor (Q), and the angular frequency (Wo). In this paper the design and the simulation of the transfer function has been done by using (MATLAB) in order to obtain the frequency response for all types of filter (the low pass filter, high pass filter, band pass filter and band stop filter).

Background: Fractional order Butterworth and Chebyshev (low-pass filter circuits, highpass filter circuits and band-pass filters circuits) types of first and second order filter circuits have been simulated and their transfer function are derived. The effect of change of the fractional order α on the behavior of the circuits is investigated. Objective: This paper presents the use of fractional order capacitor in active filters. The expressions for the magnitude, phase, the quality factor, the right-phase frequencies, and the half power frequencies are derived and compared with their previous counterpart. Methods: The circuits have been simulated using Orcad as well as MATLAB for the different value of α. We have developed the fractional gain and phase equations for low pass filter circuits, high pass filter circuits and band pass filter circuits in Sallen-Key topology. Results: It is observed that the bandwidth increases significantly with fractional order other than unity for the low pass as well as high pass and band pass filters. Conclusion: We have also seen that in the frequency domain, the magnitude and phase plots in the stop band change nearly linearly with the fractional order. If we compare the fractional Butterworth filters for low-pass and high-pass type with conventional filters then we find that the roll-off rate is equal to the next higher order filter.

This paper proposes a new single resistancecontrolled sinusoidal oscillator (SRCO) which employs only onevoltage differencing current conveyor (VDCC), two groundedresistors and two grounded capacitors. The presented circuitconfiguration offers the following advantageous features (i)explicit current-mode output with independent control ofcondition of oscillation (CO) and frequency of oscillation (FO) (ii)low active and passive sensitivities and (iii) a very good frequencystability. The proposed structure can also be configured as (a)trans-admittance low pass filter and band pass filter and (b)quadrature oscillator. The validity of the proposed SRCO,quadrature oscillator and trans-admittance low pass filter andband pass filter has been verified by PSPICE simulations usingTSMC CMOS 0.18μm process model parameters.

On remote sensing imaging platform, quality of image is normally degraded by aliasing. The low-pass filter is commonly used to dealiasing. However low-pass filter introduces error for frequencies above its cutoff frequency. And the removed aliasing is also valuable information. To retain the valuable information, we propose a restoration based on band-pass filter. Firstly, the image is transformed into frequency domain. A restoration of reciprocal cell is adopted. It is based on geometrical characteristics of sensors. As a result, the superposition parts are separated from spectrum inside the bandwidth. Then aliasing spectrum is put into right position. Inverse filter is used to deblurring and remove the color noise. Finally, the shift invariance wavelet is combined to reduce the white noise. The test results indicate that the proposed restoration is better than conventional restorations. Valuable information of the restored spectrum is more than degraded spectrum. So this proposed method will be beneficial in the field of practical projects.

The paper presents a new second-order single input multiple output (SIMO) type current mode (CM) universal filter. The proposed circuit uses two dual-X second generation multi-output current conveyors (DX-MOCCII), two grounded capacitors and three grounded resistors. The circuit configuration realizes low-pass filter (LPF), high-pass filter (HPF), band-pass filter (BPF), notch filter (NF) and all-pass filter (APF) responses simultaneously at different output terminals. The new circuit enjoys the features of low input impedance and high output impedance, which is desirable and useful for cascadability in CM circuits. For realizing the universal filter responses, the proposed circuit configuration does not require matching constraint of passive components and both active and passive sensitivities are found low. In addition, the extension of the proposed circuit as a resistorless universal filter has also been presented. As an application of the proposed filter, inverting band pass output is connected to a negative unity gain current follower in a close loop to design voltage and CM multiphase sinusoidal oscillators (MSOs). Comparison of the proposed configuration with available literature is given. The PSPICE simulation of the filter and its application as MSO are performed to verify the agreement with the theoretical proposition.

A voltage-mode (VM) multifunction configuration for the realization of conventional active filters and inverse active filters (IAF) using two current differencing buffered amplifiers and six passive elements has been presented. The proposed structure can realize low pass filter/inverse low pass filter (LPF/ILPF), high pass filter /inverse high pass filter (HPF/IHPF), and band pass filter/ Inverse band pass filter (BPF/IBPF) from the same circuit topology by appropriate choice(s) of the branch impedance(s). PSPICE simulations with CMOS current differencing buffered amplifiers implemented in 0.18µm CMOS TSMC technology have been presented to establish the workability of the proposed circuit configuration.

Due to the frequency response periodicity of distributed transmission line, microstrip band-pass filter usually produces parasitic pass-band and outputs harmonics away from the center frequency of main pass-band. Based on the study of rectangular ring defected ground structure, a 5-order microstrip LPF(low-pass filter) was designed using the single-pole band-stop and slow-wave characteristics of the rectangular ring DGS(Defected Ground Structure) and SISS(Step-Impedance Shunt Stub) structure. Compared with traditional LPF, this LPF presents the advantages of compact size, low insertion loss, broad stop-band and high steep. It also validates the requirements of miniaturization and high performance for filters.

In this paper, we design a high-order switched capacitor filter for rapid change parameter converter. This design uses a structure which consists of three biquads filter sub-units. The design is a 6th-order SC elliptic low-pass filter, and the sample frequency is 250 kHz. By the MATLAB Simulink simulation, the system can meet the design requirements in the time domain. In this paper, the 6th-order switched capacitor elliptic low-pass filter was implemented under 0.5 um CMOS process and simulated in Cadence. The final simulation results show that the pass-band cutoff frequency is 10 kHz, and the maximum pass-band ripple is about 0.106 dB. The stop-band cutoff frequency is 20 kHz, and the minimum stop-band attenuation is 74.78 dB.

Introduction. Band-pass filters circuit elements can be calculated by converting low-pass filter (LPF) parameters, which is the prototype of the designed band-pass filter. The conversion causes problems in case calculated values of circuit elements (resistors and capacitors) are out of standard values determined by the GOST standard. Obviously, frequency characteristics of band-pass filters are distorted when replacing the calculated values of circuit elements by the standard ones. The number of circuit elements with values different from standard can be reduced to zero by solving an additional system of equations that connects parameters of designed and reintroduced non-equiripple frequency responses. Objective. The objective of this work is to develop a calculation method of band-pass ladder filters with values of circuit elements corresponding to standard ones. Materials and methods. The filter design process includes two stages. The first stage is a parameters calculation of a polynomial LPF prototype. The calculated parameters are determined as a system of equations solution set. The equations are formed by equating coefficients of variables raised to the same powers in transfer function (TF) expressions of designed and realized filters. Initial characteristics are the filter order and frequency response unevenness. The transition to the standard values of circuit elements can be done when solving another system of equations that connects LPF converted parameters with unknown parameters of reintroduced non-equiripple frequency response. Results. TF of LPF prototypes up to the fifth order and frequency responses of band-pass filters (BPF) and bandrejection filters up to the tenth order are presented. Analytical expressions of non-equiripple and equiripple frequency responses are used to estimate distortions of the latter when a band-pass filter center frequency is tuned by using variable inductors or capacitors. The integral quadratic function of a variable is taken as a measure of real frequency response distortions. The tenth order BPF calculation example is given. Conclusion. The presented calculation methods of band-pass filters and given example demonstrate possibilities of the filter design method based on the systems of non-linear equations solution. In contrast to approximation methods of ideal filter frequency response by using special functions and tabular filters design, the presented method allows high-order filter calculation for any initial requirements without using reference data.

Meyer wavelet filters are the key building blocks of empirical wavelet transform. In mechanical fault diagnosis, however, the boundaries of Meyer wavelet filters are usually defined empirically. In order to solve the problems, this paper proposes a new index called harmonic infinite-taxicab norm to guide grasshopper optimization algorithm to primarily optimize a band-pass filter and thus, concurrently and secondarily optimize a low-pass filter and a high-pass filter of Meyer wavelet. The proposed index is inspired by spectral Lp/Lq norm and it is closely related to fault characteristic frequency of rotating machinery. In addition, only three Meyer wavelet filters are demanded in each iteration of optimization. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by comparing with fast kurtogram method on analyzing faulty bearing data and gearbox data.
