Table-based linear transformation filters using OTA-C techniques

Linear transformation (LT) [1] active filters using operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) and capacitors are presented. Based on the LT, two simple and systematic design tables are given to realise OTA-C filters efficiently. Using the proposed design tables, the synthesised all-pole and elliptic filters employ minimum numbers of OTAs and only grounded capacitors. As an example, a new third-order elliptic lowpass filter is realised. Experimental results are. obtained to verify the theoretical analysis.
