Abstract
In this study, a general current-mode high output impedance sinusoidal oscillator configuration is proposed. The proposed oscillator configuration uses a single four terminal floating nullor (FTFN), two capacitors and five resistors. The oscillator configuration exhibits high output impedance which makes easy to drive loads without using any buffering devices and provide non-interactive control of oscillation condition and oscillation frequency. The proposed topology also yields single frequency oscillators with reduced number of passive components. All of the proposed oscillators permit good frequency stability and exhibit low active and passive sensitivities. Theoretical analysis is verified with experimental results.
