Wide Tuning Range Active RF Bandpass Filter with MOS Varactors
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents an improved tuning method implemented for a differential active inductor based RF bandpass filter. Derived from a previous designed transistor-only second order filter topology, independent frequency and quality factor tuning are demonstrated in 0.18 μm CMOS technology. The circuit has been basically designed for a maximum frequency of 2.4 GHz, high enough to cover the main wireless standards, has small power consumption and can exhibit very high Q values. A wide frequency tuning range is obtained by using MOS varactors. The circuit absorbs 1 mW from a 1.8 V supply at 2.4 GHz central frequency.

Simulation and benchmarking of MOS varactors for the CMOS090 RF process technology
A varactor with high Q factor and large tuning range is a mandatory prerequisite for a current efficient LC-tank VCO design. Commonly used varactors include the p-n junction varactors, PMOS varactors and accumulation mode (n or ptype) varactors. This paper discusses the results from the benchmarking of different two and three-terminal MOS varactor structures. The structures are first generated ...
متن کاملA Tunable Bandpass Filter Using the Stepped Impedance Resonator with Harmonic Suppression
Stepped impedance resonator with harmonic suppression and capability of frequency tuning have been incorporated into a bandpass filter design. A tapped-in U-shaped feed structure is introduced in the design to suppress harmonic and to reduce the passband insertion losses. The passband flexibility is accomplished by using a pair of tuning varactors. A simple method to implant a zero in the frequ...
متن کاملLarge-Signal Analysis of MOS Varactors in CMOS Gm LC VCOs
MOS varactors are used extensively as tunable elements in the tank circuits of RF voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) based on submicrometer CMOS technologies. MOS varactor topologies include conventional D=S=B connected, inversion-mode (I-MOS), and accumulation-mode (A-MOS) structures. When incorporated into the VCO tank circuit, the large-signal swing of the VCO output oscillation modulates...
متن کاملThe new CMOS 2 V low-power IF fully differential Rm-C bandpass amplifier for RF wireless receivers
A new CMOS fully differential bandpass amplifier (BPA) based on the structure of a transresistance (Rm) amplifier and capacitor is proposed and analysed. In this design, the Rm amplifier is realised by a simple inverter with tunable shunt-shunt feedback MOS resistor and tunable negative resistance realised by crosscoupled MOS transistors in parallel with a current source. The capacitor is in se...
متن کاملTunable Bandpass Filter with Varactors Based on the CRLH-TL Metamaterial Structure
This paper presents a tunable bandpass filter based on the varactor-loaded composite rightand left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL). The proposed filter is composed of one CRLH-TL unit cell, which corresponds to the third-order bandpass filter. The tunable bandpass filter is designed using only lumped-elements. The use of lumped elements saves space and lowers the fabrication cost. The size o...
