Realization of nth-order series impedance function using only (n-1) current-feedback amplifiers

A new configuration for realizing a higher-order series impedance function using current-feedback amplifiers (CFAs) is presented. The nth-order series impedance function employs only (n - 1) CFAs and (2n - 1) passive elements. The higher-order series impedance function can be applied to realize Various higher-order highpass and lowpass filters. The passive element values can be easily decided from the coefficients of the filter transfer functions. The use of CFAs simplifies the circuit implementation and makes the proposed circuit attractive application. Experiments and simulation results are given to confirm application. Experiments theoretical analysis.
