Design and implementation of behavioral block models of active elements

Bachelor thesis is focused on electronically controlled modern active elements, their typical behavior and particularly on design of composite function blocks. General study of analog signal processing using active elements in current, or mixed mode is presented, including their ideal behavior. For selected basic active elements, in particular Operati- onal Transconductance Amplifier and Second-Generation Current Conveyor, were found suitable simulation models of commercially produced active elements with the aim of designing composite function blocks CCTA, VDTA and VDCC. The potential possibility of independent control of their parameters is also considered. The simulated circuits using behavioral models of real components are presented in the following chapters, including their manufacturer indicated properties and examples of parameter control. The thesis then presents the simulation results of all possible circuit variants of the three active function blocks. The main benefit of this project is the ge- neral introduction to current mode active elements, design of unconventional functional blocks using real components and the final evaluation of presented simulations, including comprarison with their theoretical behavior. The conclusion aims to summarize the most appropriate combination of components, including manufacturing of VDTA and VDCC
