Abstract

A generalization method is used to transform a floating resistor oscillator circuit to a family of sixteen grounded capacitor oscillators using the current conveyor (CCII) or the inverting current conveyor (ICCII) or combination of both. Two of the oscillator circuits have a floating property. A new family of sixteen oscillator circuits is generated from the known circuit using the adjoint circuit theorem. It is also shown that the oscillator under consideration leads to the generation of other known and new grounded passive element oscillators employing  the differential voltage current conveyor (DVCC) and the balanced output current conveyor (BOCCII).
