Four-Phase Oscillators Employing Two Active Elements

Abstract

Two novel four-phase voltage-output oscillators are proposed. These circuits can also be utilized as quadrature oscillators with floating outputs. Each oscillator employs two DO-CIBA (Differential Output- Current Inverter Buffered Amplifier), two grounded capacitors, and four or three resistors. Independent control of the oscillation frequency (OF) and oscillation condition is practicable in both oscillators. Real measurements on the oscillator specimens confirm the ability of easy OF control and extra low THD, which is less than 0.07%.
