Controllable Frequency Filters with Modern Active Elements
Preclík, Milan ; Jeřábek, Jan (referee) ; Koton, Jaroslav (advisor)
The work deals with design of transformation cells suitable for realization of higher orders frequency filters with possibility of cutoff frequency control. At first, there is a common description of frequency filters and active elements like current and voltage conveyors. Furthermore assumptions of cutoff frequency control are defined which result in a convenient characteristical equation. Phylosophy of synthetic elements DP , EP , DS , ES including a possibility of change of cutoff frequency is next in line. By exploitation of synthetic elements theory new circuit’s schemes of transformation cells are searched. The work continues with the choice of appropriate transformation cells for resulting circuit’s solutions of frequency filters with possibility of cutoff frequency control by using transfer coefficients of active elements or with help of passive elements. The work concludes with verification of its proper function based on a simulation executed in OrCAD and with practical implementation of choosen circuit’s solution.

Synthesis and Analysis of Circuits with Modern Active Elements
Koton, Jaroslav ; Vrba, Kamil (advisor)
The dissertation thesis deals with the synthesis and design of active frequency filters using current (CC) and voltage (VC) conveyors, or current active elements CMI (Current Mirror and Inverter), MCMI (Multi-output CMI) and PCA (Programmable Current Amplifier). As introduction, these active elements are described as suitable for the design of the circuits working in the voltage-, current,- ,and mixed-mode, or in pure current-mode speaking about the current active elements. The new frequency filter structures presented in this thesis using the above mentioned active elements were designed by the generalized autonomous circuit method, transformation cells and signal flow-graph theory. The generalized autonomous circuit method is based on full admittance network to which generalized active elements are connected. The described admittance networks can be used for other active elements. The next method is based on the transformation cells that subsequently are used for the design of synthetic elements with higher-order imittance. Original conditions for the design of such blocks are given that lead to maximal simplicity of the final structure with minimal number of passive and active elements. For effective usage of another method utilizing signal flow-graphs, new reduced graphs of chosen active elements are given. Their usage leads to direct function blocks synthesis with required properties. The functionality and behavior of chosen circuit solutions have been verified by analyses in simulation programs. The active elements were simulated by the universal current conveyor (UCC) or universal voltage conveyors (UVC) that were designed at the FEEC, BUT in cooperation with AMI Semiconductor Design Centre Brno with the CMOS 0.35 m technology. These active elements have been also used for the realization of chosen filter structures. The experimental measurements were performed in the in the frequency range 10 KHz to 100 MHz.

Design of new active filters, using signal flow graphs
Jašek, František ; Kubánek, David (referee) ; Vrba, Kamil (advisor)
This master’s thesis describes the design of the frequency filters by the help of the graph of the signal flows. There are defined by modern components like GVC (Generalized Voltage Conveyor), GCC (Generalized Current Conveyor), CF (Current Follower), DO-CF (Dual-Output Current Follower), OTA (Operational Transconductance Amplifier), BOTA (Ballanced Operational Transconductance Amplifier) and CFTA (Current Follower Transconductance Amplifier), the graphs of the signal flows, which describe their activity in the thesis. In the other part of the thesis is illustrated the procedure of the design of the frequency filters by the help of the graphs of the signal flows. For the concrete design was selected in the first case as the active component double output current follower and in the second case the CFTA. There are noted all designed circuits of the frequency filters also their characteristic equations in this thesis. The activity of the selected circuits was remitted to the analysis in the simulation program called PSpice. Because the active components, with which was engaged in the design of the filter which doesn’t exist in the real form, that is why the UCC, which is sufficing for attestation of the function of the circuit, was used for the simulation. The simulation was implemented in the frequency range 10 Hz to 10 MHz.

Multifunctional analog frequency filters
Žůrek, Radomil ; Koton, Jaroslav (referee) ; Minarčík, Martin (advisor)
Main topic of this bachelor thesis are the frequency filters and their application. It presents multifunction frequency filter circuits with focus on active circuit elements like current conveyors (GCC), voltage conveyors (GVC) and transconductance amplifiers (OTA), which operate in both voltage and current modes. Then it presents the outcomes of designing 26 second order frequency filters, all operating in both voltage and current modes. It discusses in theory the problematics of M-C graph design, which is graphics-based analogy of voltage and current incidental matrices. Selected circuit designs are examined as examples with their transfer functions determined and results presented as module frequency characteristics. Individual M-C graphs (signal flow graph) are designed for each filter circuit. In conclusion are summarized the characteristics of M-C graphs and their suitable applications.

Versatile autonomous circuit equivalents of floating and grounded passive elements
Štěpán, Radim ; Koton, Jaroslav (referee) ; Herencsár, Norbert (advisor)
This thesis deals with a proposal of versatile autonomous circuit equivalents of floating and grounded passive elements by means of modern active tectonic blocks, such as current and voltage conveyors of all three generations. Current conveyors range as essential tectonic blocks in a current mode. Concerning signal processing, it encompasses a mixed tectonic block. In most cases, these elements may be substituted for presently insufficient operating amplifiers. The voltage conveyor was defined on the basis of duality of current and voltage modes. This element could be selected as a suitable active component for circuits operating in a voltage mode. Implementing the connection, a general autonomous circuit is taken into account. By selecting given admittances, a FDNR (floating frequency dependent negative resistance) element, floating capacitance, floating inductance and ground to floating admittance converter may be implemented. The practical part describes connections which fulfill given requirements. The suggested elements are simulated in comparison with ideal elements and subsequently, they are applied to a frequency filter. The second order filter with a proposed induction coil was practically assembled and experimentally measured in a laboratory. The measured results were compared to simulations received by the use of ideal and real models of current and voltage conveyors.

Universal active elements and their usage in frequency filters
Vencálek, Roman ; Kubánek, David (referee) ; Herencsár, Norbert (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with the advanced universal modern active elements, such as the current and voltage conveyors. The problem with small bandwidth has been fixed due to the quick development in recent years. Current and voltage conveyors are still being researched. The good properties of conveyors promise their possible commercial usage in the future. For the research of current conveyors we can use parts of other integrated circuits and thus get elements with similar properties. This thesis suggests how to make an active filter using the DBTA and FDBTA elements which were created by “combination” of the universal current and voltage conveyor. Simulations were carried out on selected circuits containing the DBTA to verify their properties. It was for finding out about their behaviour in real applications that the circuits were constructed. This enabled the comparison of the results acquired from the simulation programs with the ideal behaviour of the elements and with the models simulating real properties against the values acquired by measurements of the circuits.
