Keyword: Ocillator,,. ntroduction An illator i an important baic building block, which i frequently employed in electrical engineering application. Among the everal kind of illator, a quadrature illator i widely ued becaue it can offer inuoidal ignal with 90 phae difference, for example, in telecommunication for quadrature mixer and ingle-ideband []. Several implementation of econd order quadrature illator uing different high-performance active building block, uch a, [2], current conveyor [3], four-terminal floating nullor (FTFN) [4-5], current follower [6], current differencing buffered amplifier (CDBA) [7], current differencing tranconductance amplifier (CDTA) [8], fully-differential econd-generation current conveyor (FDCC) [9], and differencing voltage current conveyor (DCC) [0], have been reported. Recently, it ha been proved that the third order illator provide good characteritic with lower ditortion than econd order illator [-2]. From our literature found that the third order illator employing CCC [], [2-3], CDTA [4], have been propoed. The aim of thi paper i to propoe a third order voltage-mode illator, baed on and. The feature of the propoed circuit are that: the illation condition can be adjuted independently from the illation frequency by electronic method. The circuit contruction conit of, 2, grounded reitor and 2 grounded capacitor. The PSPCE imulation reult are alo hown, which are in correpondence with the theoretical analyi. 2. Circuit Principle 2..
