Nonlinear Analysis of Noise in Static and Dynamic Translinear Circuits
نویسندگان
چکیده
For translinear filters, or log-domain filters, calculation of the maximal signal-to-noise-ratio, an important filter specification, is not trivial, due to the inherent companding behavior and the nonstationary nature of the transistor noise sources. To address this issue, a nonlinear noise analysis method is proposed. Based on large-signal calculations, expressions for the first-order noise and signal–noise intermodulation terms are computed. The procedure is generally applicable both to static and dynamic translinear circuits, as illustrated by a number of generic examples.

متن کاملThe linear time-varying approach applied to a first-order dynamic translinear filter
Dynamic translinear (DTL) circuits use the exponential inputoutput relation of the transistor as a primitive for the synthesis of electronic circuits. As a consequence the analysis of the dynamic behaviour of this type of circuits in the presence of parasitics results in analyzing dynamic nonlinear circuits. There are three different approaches that can be applied: the linear time-invariant (LT...

Introduction: One of the possible techniques to cope with the restrictions imposed by llow supply voltages is instantaneous companding [l], which is an inherent characteristic of translinear (TL) filters [2], also called exponential state-space filters [3]. TL filters exploit the exponential large-signal behaviour of the bipolar, or weak inversion MOS, transistor both for an expanding capacitan...

متن کاملNoise Considerations for Translinear Filters
Translinear filters exhibit unconventional noise characteristics, due to the internal nonlinear behavior. In this paper, the maximal signal-to-noise-ratio and the dynamic range properties of translinear filters are discussed, and the relation between these two specifications and the inherent instantaneous companding is described.
