This paper presents the enhancement of Legendre Optimum low pass filters
in terms of reusability and bandwidth, based on the variable or
programmable memristance of memristors. Two low pass filters, of third
and fifth order, operating in the radio frequency range, and designed
using the insertion loss method are presented. At 600 KHz and at 110
MHz, two MS memristor models, of the non-linear ion drift class is
incorporated into the filter circuits in turn and their memristances
varied such that R_off- R_on decreases monotonically and R_off-
R_on>0. Results show a bandwidth enhancement of up to 100
KHz at 600 KHz, and up to 19MHz at 110MHz. This study also examines the
effect of the simultaneous versus asynchronous variation of the
memristance of the pair of memristors introduced into the filter
circuits, as well as increase in filter order.
