A multiphase sinusoidal oscillator using second-generation current con
veyors is presented. The oscillator can generate n signals which are e
qual in amplitude and equally spaced in phase. The oscillation frequen
cy of each phase is independently controlled by a grounded resistor, w
hich makes it easy to convert into a voltage-controlled multiphase osc
illator. The proposed circuit is suitable for IC fabrication because a
ll the passive elements are grounded. Experimental results are given t
o verify the theoretical analysis.
