The paper discusses a new design of a current–mode reconnection–less reconfigurable fractional–order (FO) low–pass filter of various orders. The filtering structure is based on a 4th–order leap–frog topology using operational transconductance amplifiers as basic building blocks. The resulting order of the filter is given by the setting of current gains (allowing the reconnection–less reconfiguration) alongside with the values of the fractional–order capacitors realized by the RC ladder networks. |
