Sinusoidal Generator with π4-Shifted FourEight Voltage Outputs Employing Four Grounded Components and TwoSix Active Elements

الملخص EN

This paper presents a new circuit proposal for multiphase sine-wave generation, employing two active elements and four grounded passive elements.

The proposed oscillator provides four 45° phase-shifted voltage outputs.

Incorporation of additional inverters for generation of eight-phase outputs is further shown.

Simultaneous current outputs can also be generated with additional output stages.

The compact circuit structure is studied for nonideal and parasitic effects and simulation results are given, which are in good agreement with the theory.

The utility of the proposal for π/4-QPSK generation is explored as an interesting application example with supporting results.
