Tunable VDTA-Based High-Pass and Band-Pass Shadow Fractional-Order Filter
摘要
This paper is intended to implement a novel circuit of high pass and bandpass shadow fractional-order filter (FOF) using Voltage Differencing Transconductance Amplifier (VDTA) block. In shadow FOFs the filter parameters like quality factor, and pole frequency can be tuned by varying the gain of the external amplifier, without disturbing the passive and active components of the basic filter block design. The proposed shadow FOF consists of a VDTA block, two capacitors and an external amplifier, it is a resistor-less structure. The proposed shadow FOF is capable of tunning center frequency without changing the quality factor and vice versa. The SPICE simulation results using 180 nm technology parameters are included in the paper for the functional verification of the proposed shadow FOF. Further to verify the robustness of the circuit, the results of corner and Monte-Carlo analysis are also included.
