A UWB Transformer-C Orthonormal State Space Band-Reject Filter in 0.13 μm CMOS

چکیده
An RF passive orthonormal ladder filter using transformers is presented, where the output is obtained from a linear, weighted combination of the voltages or currents at predetermined nodes or branches. With this topology, arbitrary rational transfer functions can be mapped onto silicon. Key features of this single-input, multiple-output (SIMO) topology include low-pass to band-pass/reject transformation without doubling the order of the filter and the realization of transmission zeros in the right-half-plane (RHP) (for superior approximations). As a proof of concept, a 7 order transformer-C filter implemented in CMOS 0.13 μm technology that can be used as a pulse shaping network (pulse width less than 0.5 ns) or band selection filter (offering a minimum of 20 dB attenuation at the IEEE802.11a WLAN band) for UWB transceivers is presented.

A Compact UWB Bandpass Filter with High Selectivity and Dual Notched-Band
A novel compact-sized ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) is proposed in this paper. The proposed BPF is highly selective and is able to eliminate WLAN signals from 5.15-5.35 GHz, and downlink of X-band satellite communication signals from 7.25-7.75 GHz. Generally, a multiple-mode resonator (MMR), comprised of a U-shaped line, with two high impedance stubs connected to it, and one steppe...

A fully-integrated bandpass filter using Q-enhanced and semi-passive inductors is design, implemented and verified experimentally in a standard 0.18-μm CMOS process. The inductors achieve high-Q factors by using a tapped-inductor feedback technique to produce negative resistances. Compared with conventional transformer feedback, the proposed technique not only compensates resistive losses with ...
