In this chapter, we ask how multiple phosphorelay inputs affect its bandpass characteristics, and, at a more basic level, how phosphotransfer reactions modulate signaling properties inside cells. We address these questions using simple computational models of two-component system architectures. Our results show that the two different types of phosphorelay inputs can be used to independently tun...

In this paper a dual-band bandpass filter, using stub loaded ring resonator and etched nested C-shape defected ground structure (DGS), is reported. The operating frequencies of the bandpass filter conform to the Bluetooth (2.4GHz–2.484 GHz) and WLAN (5.15 GHz–5.35 GHz) systems. Due to its applications in WLAN and Bluetooth systems, the filter will be subjected to high EM radiation from the ante...

Precision nickel printing screens are shown to be very useful as far-infrared bandpass filters. For a range of such regularly perforated sheets, transmission peaks of ~ 0.9 have been observed to lie at frequencies between 60 and 140 cm(-1). We found that this value shows little degradation by cascading several screens, but the overall filter Q value may be increased from 2.7 to a value of ~ 6. ...

This dissertation describes the design of a CMOS 900-MHz bandpass amplifier that is suitable for RF transceivers. The work employs the state-of-art inductive degeneration techniques to minimize the noise figure and explores the use of lossy spiral inductors in high frequency circuit to realize input matching networks on-chip. A Q-compensation circuit is included to achieve a 25-MHz 3-dB bandwid...

Previous work on bandpass modulation filtering for noise suppression has resulted in unwanted perceptual artifacts and decreased speech clarity. Artifacts are introduced mainly due to half-wave rectification, which is employed to correct for negative power spectral values resultant from the filtering process. In this paper, modulation frequency estimation (i.e., bandwidth extension) is used to ...

This paper proposes a continuous-time bandpass ∆ΣAD modulator architecture which performs high-accuracy AD conversion of high frequency analog signals and can be used for next-generation radio systems. We use an RF DAC inside the modulator to enable subsampling and also to make the SNDR of the continuous-time modulator insensitive to DAC sampling clock jitter. We have confirmed that this is the...

We analyze and present an input gain-varying scheme for maximizing dynamic range in a well-known Gm–C bandpass filter by both minimizing noise for small input signals, and by achieving balanced swing levels at all filter nodes for large input signals. A micropower bandpass filter suitable for use in cochlear implants and other powerconstrained biomedical applications was implemented and tested ...

Abstract— The inductor-less designing of monolithic tunable active dual-band bandpass filter is presented in this study. Biasing voltages signify main role. They can control the center frequency and quality factor. Using four biasing voltages and cascading two similar filters leads to dual-band bandpass filter. By keeping the gain constant, the center frequency shift is 200 MHz. Regardless cons...

In this paper, frequency-tunable microstrip antennas, for cognitive radio applications, are proposed. The approach is based on electrically tuning the antenna’s operating frequency by integrating reconfigurable band pass filters into wideband antenna structures. The design of an open loop resonator (OLR)-based bandstop filter, and its transformation to a bandpass filter, are investigated first....

By adjusting the coating parameters to vary the refractive index of the thin film material, we are able to fine tune the bandwidth of a narrow bandpass filter to an arbitrary value. The relation between the varied index Deltan and the maximum arbitrary bandwidth was analyzed. A 4-skip-0 bandpass filter for a 100 GHz DWDM system was designed and fabricated. In addition, the relation between the ...
