“…A comparative study of all SO topologies using various analog building blocks (ABBs) having scaling factor ( and/or ) either in the numerator/denominator or both in the expression of FO has been presented in Table . These existing SO configurations have been designed using op‐amps, current feedback operation amplifier (CFOA), current differencing buffered amplifier (CDBA), OTRA, combination of operational transconductance amplifier (OTA), and positive four terminal floating nullor (pFTFN) . The inspection of comparative Table divulges that existing structures - use excessive ABBs;
- use more than six resistors and more than two capacitors and produce single‐phase oscillations;
- use similar ABBs while Kumar et al employ different ABBs;
- are designed using op‐amps and have restricted performance at higher frequencies due to gain bandwidth dependency and slew limitation of op‐amps;
- provide only single phase (S) output whereas Lahiri gives quadrature (Q) response;
- lack electronic tunability, (circuits C, D, E, G);
- do not support independent control of FO without disturbing CO (circuits C, E, J);
- have high FO sensitivities to component variations;
- use high‐value capacitors (order of nF) in attaining VLFs, which is not favorable from the IC fabrication viewpoint;
- imposes more stringent requirements in achieving variable frequencies as the scaling factor ( k ) appears in CO
