Abstract

This letter presents a realization of voltage-mode quadrature sinusoidal oscillator with independent current tunable frequency of oscillation. The circuit uses a single differential voltage current conveyor transconductance amplifier (DVCCTA) as the active building block and four all grounded passive elements. PSPICE simulation results have been included to verify the theoretical results.
