Design and Implementation of a Cellular Neural Network Based Oscillator Circuit

Abstract

In this paper, a novel inductorless oscillator circuit with negative feedbacks, based on a simple version of a "Cellular Neural Network" (CNN) called "CNN with an Opposite Sign Template" (CNN-OST) is designed and implemented. The system is capable of generating quasi-sine oscillations with tuneable amplitude and frequency which can't be provided at the same time in the conventional oscillator circuits.
