Lossless grounded inductance simulator employing single VDBA and its experimental band-pass filter application

Abstract

Actively simulated grounded inductors have been used in several applications ranging from filter to oscillator design as well as cancelation of parasitic inductances. In this paper, new lossless grounded inductance simulator employing only one voltage differencing buffer amplifier (VDBA) and two passive components is proposed. The aim of this paper is to present new inductance simulator using the minimum number of active and passive components. The proposed inductance simulator can be tuned electronically by changing the transconductance of the VDBA. Finally, using the proposed inductance simulator a band-pass filter is constructed. The performance of the filter is simulated by using PSPICE and simulation results are verified experimentally. (C) 2013 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
