Generation of CCII and ICCII based Wien oscillators using nodal admittance matrix expansion

This paper introduces a new generation method of the grounded capacitor Wien oscillator circuits using current conveyors (CCII) or inverting current conveyors (ICCII) or combination of both of them. The nodal admittance matrix (NAM) of the single Op Amp Wien oscillator is taken as the starting point in the new approach of systematic synthesis of equivalent oscillators. The synthesis procedure is based on the generalized systematic synthesis framework using NAM expansion. The resulting derived 32 oscillators include many novel oscillators, using current conveyors or inverting current conveyors or both. Comparison between the generated oscillators based on the effect of parasitic elements on the oscillator performance is discussed. (C) 2009 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
