A New Grounded Current Controlled Inductor Based on Simplified Current Conveyors

Abstract

In this paper, a new active grounded inductor controlled in current is described. This structure is realized using negative second generation current controlled conveyors and a single grounded capacitor, with no external resistance. The proposed circuit offers many advantages, such as: operation at high frequencies, simple circuit, tuning by the bias current, low power dissipation, etc. Comparison between this topology and those presented in literature is done to highlight the benefits of our structure. As an application, a bandpass filter based on the proposed active inductance is constructed to confirm the usability of the circuit and illustrate these performances. The filter center frequency and quality factor can be tuned independently. Simulation results, given under PSPICE software, present good agreement with the theoretical ones.
