Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract This article presents the enhancement of Legendre Optimum low pass filter (LPF) in terms of reusability and bandwidth, based on the programmable memristance of memristors. Two LPFs of the third order, operating in the MF and VHF range, and designed using the insertion loss method are presented. At 600 kHz and 110 MHz, two Knowm memristors working in the forward ion‐conduction mode replace and in the filter circuit. Their conductance and therefore memristance is varied such that decreases monotonically and. Results show a bandwidth enhancement of up to 540 at 600 kHz, and up to 100 at 110 MHz. A reusable, cost‐effective, variable bandwidth filter is achieved from the original fixed bandwidth filter.
