Monolithic Tunable Active Inductor with Independent Q Control

چکیده
A 1.1-GHz fully integrated GaAs MESFET active inductor is presented in this paper. Both the inductance and loss resistance are tunable with the inductance independent of series loss tuning. The measured loss resistance is tunable over a 10to +15range with a corresponding change in inductance of less than 10% at 100 MHz and less than 4% for frequencies above 500 MHz. The inductance is tunable from 65 to 90 nH. Considerably larger bandwidths can be achieved depending on the fabrication technology employed and the intended application of the circuit.

Tunable Coupled Inductor Q-Enhancement for Parallel Resonant LC Tanks
A tunable transformer-based Q-enhancement method for monolithic inductors used in parallel resonant LC tanks is presented. The Q of the inductor that forms the transformer primary is enhanced by cancelling the voltage drop across the series loss resistance of the primary with a voltage of opposite polarity that is induced by a current in the secondary. The circuit allows dc voltage control of Q...
متن کاملTunable Active Dual-Band Bandpass Filter Design Using MMIC Technology
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...

The improvement of a conventional Gyrator-C active inductor consisting of common-emitter configured and common-collector configured with resistance feedback is presented. The fixed passive resistor is replaced with tunable active resistor (TAR) to enhance the adjustability of the active inductor. Multi-regulated Cascode (MRC) circuit is applied to boost quality factor Q. Compared with the conve...
متن کاملLies, Damn Lies and Measurements
This paper describes some of the more unusual phenomena associated with RF/microwave measurements that have been investigated by the author over the past twelve years. It has been found that, from some high profile publications, microwave measurements have been either performed in error or their results wrongly interpreted. Four categories have been identified and two examples from each are dis...
متن کاملA Fully Integrated Active Inductor with Independent Voltage Tunable Inductance and Series-Loss Resistance
A fully integrated GaAs MESFET active inductor is presented in this paper with independent voltage tunable inductance and series-loss resistance. The measured inductance is tunable from 65 to 110 nH in the frequency range from 100 MHz to 1.0 GHz. The measured loss resistance is independently tunable over a 5.6to+20.8range corresponding to a 0.26 and 0.65 V change in dc tuning voltages, respecti...
