Ali Kircay et al. 401 ABSTRACT⎯A new log-domain first-order multifunction filter is proposed in this letter. The proposed filter is systematically derived using the state-space synthesis procedure from a corresponding block diagram. It provides low-pass (LP), high-pass (HP), and all-pass (AP) responses simultaneously for a single input signal. The filter circuit has a very simple structure since it uses only bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and a grounded capacitor. It can be electronically
