            Abstract : 
A novel current-mode biquad using operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) and current follower (CF) is presented. The circuit can realise lowpass, bandpass, highpass, band-stop and all-pass transfer functions without any circuit matching conditions. The circuit parameters can also be tuned independently by the transconductance gains of the OTAs. The proposed biquad enjoys very low sensitivities with respect to the circuit elements.
