A new electronically tunable quadrature oscillator is presented using a biquad band pass filter. The new band pass filter is designed using two dual X second-generation multi-output current conveyors (DX-MOCCIIs), two grounded capacitors, two grounded resistors and one NMOS transistor working in the triode region. It is used to design a four-phase voltage and three-phase current output quadrature oscillator simultaneously. The frequency of the oscillator can be tuned externally through the MOS gate voltage without affecting the condition of oscillation. The phase noise, frequency stability and nonideality analysis are given. The functionality of the oscillator circuit has been confirmed by SPICE simulation and also hardware realization using commercially available IC AD844.

This research paper contains a new electronically tunable current-mode biquadratic universal filter using a new active building block; current controlled differential difference current conveyor transconductance amplifier (CCDDCCTA). The proposed filter provides the following important and desirable features: (i) One can use only one CCDDCCTA and two capacitors; (ii) One can get low pass (LP), band pass (BP), high pass (HP), notch (NF) and all pass (AP) current responses from the same configuration without any alteration; (iii) Passive components are grounded, which ease the integrated circuit implementation; (iv) Responses are electronically tunable; and (v) Sensitivity is low. Moreover, the non-ideality analysis shows that the parasitic passive components can be compensated for the proposed circuit. The functionality of the design is verified through SPICE simulations using 0.25 µm CMOS TSMC technology process parameters. Simulation result agrees well with the theoretical analysis.
