Voltage-Mode and Current-Mode Resistorless Third-Order Quadrature Oscillator

This paper presents the realization of a resistorless third-order quadrature oscillator using two multiple-output current controlled current conveyor transconductance amplifiers (MO-CCCCTAs) and three grounded capacitors. The proposed circuit provides two quadrature voltage outputs, two high-impedance quadrature current outputs, and one high-impedance amplitude-controllable current output. The proposed oscillator satisfies the industrial requirement for amplifier and modulation signals and phase shift keying signals, when the input bias current of the second MO-CCCCTA is used as a modulating signal. Its oscillation condition and oscillation frequency can be adjusted independently by two different bias currents of MO-CCCCTAs. The structure of resistorless and only grounded capacitors suggests that the proposed oscillator can be easily implemented in an integrated circuit
