This paper presents a new approach for third order quadrature oscillator (QO) realisation. It uses a high pass filter and differentiator connected in a feedback loop. A differential voltage current conveyor transconductance amplifier (DVCCTA) is employed to verify the proposed approach. Two circuit topologies of QO have been proposed. Both the topologies utilise two DVCCTA and three grounded capacitors. In addition, the first topology employs a single resistor while the second makes use of two resistors. The circuits exhibit orthogonal control on frequency and condition of oscillation. The quadrature current outputs are available at high output impedance and voltage outputs are also present. The theoretical proposition has been verified through SPICE simulations using 0.25 μm Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing company (TSMC) complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology parameters. Experimental results are also included which corroborate the theoretical propositions and simulated results.
