Transformation of sinusoidal oscillators using universal active elements

A procedure for synthesising sinusoidal oscillators using finite-gain controlled sources is proposed. Based on some fundamental theorems of network theory, this method permits the generation of a set of functionally equivalent oscillators with different controlled sources. In this way synthesis and design-specific methods to each one are not necessary. In demonstrating feasibility, the operational floating conveyor has been used as the active element to implement different types of controlled sources. Design criteria and experimental results are given
