One input voltage and three output voltage universal biquad filters with orthogonal tune of frequency and bandwidth

This research paper contributes the one input three output voltage mode universal biquad filters with linear and electronic control of the natural frequency (w0), using two commercially available ICs, LT1228s as active device with two grounded capacitors, five resistors. The presented universal biquad filters can simultaneously provide three voltage-mode filtering functions, low-pass (LP), high-pass (HP) and band-pass (BP) without changing the circuit architecture. Furthermore, the first presented biquad filter provides low impedance at HP, BP voltage output nodes and LP, BP output voltage nodes are low impedance for the second proposed filter which is easy cascade ability with other voltage mode circuits without the employment of buffer circuits. The quality factor (Q) of both proposed filters is orthogonally adjusted from the passband voltage gain and w0. The proposed filters are simulated and experimented with commercially accessible ICs, LT1228. The simulated and experimental results demonstrate the filtering performances

Electronically Tunable TISO Voltage-Mode Universal Filter Using Two LT1228s

This study aims to design an electronically tunable voltage-mode (VM) universal filter utilizing commercially available LT1228 integrated circuits (ICs) with three-input and single-output (TISO) configuration. With the procedure based on two integrator loop filtering structures, the proposed filter consists of two LT1228s, four resistors, and two grounded capacitors. It realizes five filter output responses: low-pass, all-pass, band-reject, band-pass, and high-pass functions. By selecting input voltage signals, each output responses can be achieved without changing the circuit architecture. The natural angular frequency can be controlled electronically. The input voltage nodes Vin1 and Vin3 possess high impedance. The output node has low impedance, so it can be cascaded to other circuits. The performance of the proposed filter is corroborated by PSpice simulation and hardware implementation which support the theoretical assumptions. The result shows that the range of total harmonic distortion (THD) is lower than 1%, and that the higher the temperature is, the lower the natural angular frequency is
