A realization of a current-mode operational transconductance amplifiercapacitor (OTA-C) universal filter with tunable pole-Q is proposed. A biquadratic band-reject function is used as the initial synthesis function based on three integrator blocks. Consequently, the proposed filter uses a total of three multiple-output OTAs and three grounded capacitors. Five types of transfer functions, namely, low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, band-reject, and all-pass responses, can be obtained without changing the circuit topology. The pole-Q (Q 0 ) and the pole-frequency (ω 0 ) parameters are independently tuned. The Q 0 and ω 0 parameters are electronically tuned by adjusting the transconductance gains of the OTAs. Furthermore, Q 0 can be tuned by varying the capacitor manually without affecting ω 0 . SPICE simulation results of the proposed filter are presented.
