Simplified Wave Active Filter: A Novel Design in Current Mode with Single EX-CCCCTA

To minimize circuit design, a novel current-mode wave active filter (WAF) employing the extra-X current-controlled current conveyor transconductance amplifier (EX-CCCCTA) active building block (ABB), is presented in this paper. Unlike other WAFs in the research, this design uses a single EX-CCCCTA, and grounded passive components suitable for monolithic integration, and an electronic tuning capability to offer an appropriate response at high frequencies up to 10[Formula: see text]MHz approximately. Compared to their passive equivalents, active filters have tunable gain, monolithic integration compatibility, and appropriate input–output impedance. Furthermore, Monte Carlo analysis, total harmonic distortion (%THD), and noise analysis are used to validate the filter performances. The SPICE simulations verify the functional effectiveness of the proposed WAF.
