Single-Input Five-Output Electronically Tunable Current-Mode Biquad Consisting of Only ZC-CFTAs and Grounded Capacitors

This paper presents an electronically tunable current-mode biquadratic filter constructing with four Z-copy current follower transconductance amplifiers (ZC-CFTAs) and only two grounded capacitors. The presented filter can realize all the five standard biquadratic functions simultaneously without requiring any component matching conditions and connecting any relevant output currents. The circuit has one low-impedance input and five high-impedance outputs, resulting in easy cascadability in current-mode. Also, the developed circuit exhibits the advantage of non-interactive electronic control of the natural angular frequency and the quality factor Q along with low incremental active and passive sensitivities. Computer simulation results using PSPICE program are given to confirm the validity of the theoretical prediction and to point out the attractive performance of the circuit

To support the validity of the oscillator, PSPICE simulation results have also been provided

High-Input Impedance Voltage-Mode Multifunction Filter Using a Single DDCCTA and Grounded Passive Elements

In this paper, a novel single-input three-output (SITO) second-order multifunction active voltage filter with high-input impedance is proposed. The proposed circuit is based on using the recently reported active building block, namely differential difference current conveyor transconductance amplifier (DDCCTA). It employs one DDCCTA as active element together with one grounded resistor and two grounded capacitors as passive elements. The circuit still maintains the following advantageous features : (i) the simultaneous realization of lowpass, bandpass and highpass responses from the same topology, (ii) no requirements for component matching conditions, (iii) electronic controllability of important filter parameters, (iv) simpler structure due to contains only one DDCCTA and three passive elements, and (v) low sensitivity performance. The non-ideal gain effects of the developed filter are examined and PSPICE simulation results are included using 0.5 um MIETEC CMOS technology parameters

A circuit technique for designing a compact low-voltage current-mode multiplier/divider circuit in CMOS technology is presented.  It is based on the use of a compact current quadratic cell able to operate at low supply voltage.  The proposed circuit is designed and simulated for implementing in TSMC 0.25-m CMOS technology with a single supply voltage of 1.5 V.  Simulation results using PSPICE, accurately agreement with theoretical ones, have been provided, and also demonstrate a maximum linearity error of 1.5%, a THD less than 2% at 100 MHz, a total power consumption of 508 W, and -3dB small-signal frequency of about 245 MHz

Universal Filter Using Single Commercially Available IC: LT1228

In electrical and electronic engineering, the filter is very importance circuit. A voltage-mode three inputs single output second-order multifunction filter is presented in this paper. The proposed filter is based on RLC parallel circuit. The main active element is the commercially available IC from Linear Technology Inc, LT1228. The filter consists of single LT1228, single resistor and two capacitors. Five output second-order filter responses, namely band-pass (BP), band-stop (BS), high-pass (HP), low-pass (LP) and all-pass (AP) functions are achieved. Each output response can be selected without component matching condition and the requirement of double gain amplifier. The quality factor and natural frequency can be electronically controlled. PSpice simulation results suing macro model of LT1228 are in close agreement with the theory

Dual-mode multifunction filter realized with a single voltage differencing gain amplifier (VDGA)

This article presents the dual-mode multifunction biquad filter realized employing only a single voltage differencing gain amplifier (VDGA), one resistor and three capacitors. The proposed filterwith one input and three outputs can configure as voltage-mode or current-mode filter circuit with the appropriate input injection choice. It can also synthesis the three standard filter functions, which are highpass, bandpass, and lowpass responses without modifying the circuit configuration. Orthogonal adjustment between the natural angular frequency (o) and the quality factor (Q) of the filter is achieved. Detail analysis of non-ideal VDGA effects and circuit component sensitivity are included. The circuit principle is verified by means of simulation results with TSMC 0.35-m CMOS process parameters

Practical realization of electronically adjustable universal filter using commercially available IC-based VBDA

This paper describes the practical realization of electronically adjustable voltage-mode universal filter with three inputs and single output (TISO) using the commercially available integrated circuit (IC)-based voltage differencing buffered amplifiers (VDBAs). The realization is resistor-less and contains only two VDBAs and two capacitors. The described filter structure can realize all the five standard biquadratic filter functions from the same configuration without needing any component matching criterions. It also exhibits low-output impedance, which enables for easy cascading in voltage-mode operation. Owing to practical VDBA realization, the filter circuit can be easily made electronically tunable with orthogonal o-Q tuning. The effects of the VDBA non-idealities on the filter performance have been analyzed in detail. To prove the theoretical finding, the performance of the studied circuit was also experimentally measured using the operational transconductance amplifie

SFG Synthesis of General High-Order All-Pass and All-Pole Current Transfer Functions Using CFTAs

An approach of using the signal flow graph (SFG) technique to synthesize general high-order all-pass and all-pole current transfer functions with current follower transconductance amplifiers (CFTAs) and grounded capacitors has been presented. For general nth-order systems, the realized all-pass structure contains at most n + 1 CFTAs and n grounded capacitors, while the all-pole lowpass circuit requires only n CFTAs and n grounded capacitors. The resulting circuits obtained from the synthesis procedure are resistor-less structures and especially suitable for integration. They also exhibit low-input and high-output impedances and also convenient electronic controllability through the -value of the CFTA. Simulation results using real transistor model parameters ALA400 are also included to confirm the theory

Development of object detection and classification with YOLOv4 for similar and structural deformed fish

Food scarcity is an issue of concern due to the continued growth of the human population and the threat of global warming and climate change. Increasing food production is expected to meet the challenges of food needs that will continue to increase in the future. Automation is one of the solutions to increase food productivity, including in the aquaculture industry, where fish recognition is essential to support it. This paper presents fish recognition using YOLO version 4 (YOLOv4) on the "Fish-Pak" dataset, which contains six species of identical and structurally damaged fish, both of which are characteristics of fish processed in the aquaculture industry. Data augmentation was generated to meet the validation criteria and improve the data balance between classes. For fish images on a conveyor, flip, rotation, and translation augmentation techniques are appropriate. YOLOv4 was applied to the whole fish body and then combined with several techniques to determine the impact on the accuracy of the results. These techniques include landmarking, subclassing, adding scale data, adding head data, and class elimination. Performance for each model was evaluated with a confusion matrix, and analysis of the impact of the combination of these techniques was also reviewed. From the experimental test results, the accuracy of YOLOv4 for the whole fish body is only 43.01 %. The result rose to 72.65 % with the landmarking technique, then rose to 76.64 % with the subclassing technique, and finally rose to 77.42 % by adding scale data. The accuracy did not improve to 76.47 % by adding head data, and the accuracy rose to 98.75 % with the class elimination technique. The final result was excellent and acceptabl
