A micropower fourth-order elliptical switched-capacitor low-pass filter

A micropower fourth-order elliptical switched-capacitor (SC) low-pass filter for biomedical applications has been designed and measured. The charge transfer error of an SC integrator using a transconductance amplifier is discussed. Also first-order noise and PSRR calculations are performed and compared with the results of simulations and measurements. The measurements show that by careful optimization of the gain bandwidth, slew rate, and gain of the amplifiers, high-performance low-power SC filters can be constructed. The cutoff frequency of the filter is 5 kHz, the ripple in the passband is 0.27 dB, and stopband rejection is 49 dB. The power consumption of the filter is 190 /spl mu/W with /spl plusmn/2.5-V power supplies. The dynamic range of the filter is 75 dB, and the total harmonic distortion over the whole passband range is below 0.25% for a 2-V/SUB pp/ input signal. The PSRR of the filter is above 40 dB at frequencies below 3 kHz.     

A novel microstrip lowpass filter with sharp roll-off and ultra-wide stopband using SICMRC

This paper presents a novel microstrip lowpass filter with sharp roll-off and ultra-wide stopband using stepped-impedance resonator and bended transmission line structure. The filter includes stepped-impedance prototype filter and stepped-impedance compact microstrip resonator cells that are combined in one structure. The proposed filter has good specifications such as sharp roll-off, ultra-wide stopband and low insertion loss. The transition band is approximately 0.25 GHz from 1.75 to 2 GHz with corresponding attenuation levels of ?3 and ?40 dB. The attenuation level in the stopband is better than ?20 dB that is achieved from 1.94 to 23 GHz, and the insertion loss in the passband is less than 0.4 dB. The proposed filter is fabricated and measured, and the simulation and measurement results are found to be in good agreement with each other.     

A 2.7-V, 200-kHz, 49-dBm, stopband-IIP3, low-noise, fully balancedgm-C filter IC

This 2.7 V low-distortion, low-noise, fourth order gm-C filter adopts real resistors for terminations and transconductors of wide common mode input range. Degradation in passband ripple due to mismatch between termination resistors and transconductors is alleviated by design centering. The filter achieves a stopband third-order intermodulation intercept point (IIP3) of 49 dBm, a passband IIP3 of 14 dBm, an input-referred noise of 28 nV/√(Hz) and a common mode rejection ratio of 70 dB. The cutoff frequency is tuned to 200 kHz using a reference resistor. The filter consumes 11.5 mA/channel. It operates even at 2.2 V with a stopband IIP3 of 40 dBm

A novel miniaturised dual-mode bandpass filter with multi-arc resonators is proposed. The size of the dual-mode filter can be reduced significantly by using the microstrip dual-mode resonator consisting of multi-arcs; meanwhile insertion loss and spurious response suppression are improved A prototype filter is designed and implemented at 3.6 GHz with 2.8% fractional bandwidth, which shows a low passband insertion loss of 1.02 dB and a wide stopband with rejection better than 20 dB up to about 8.5 GHz.     

Design of saw filters in SS-FDMA routers for mobile satellite systems

The present paper reports the design of a SAW filter bank consisting of 26 linear phase filters with bandwidths ranging from 60 to 2180 kHz, 0·5/40 dB transition width narrower than 30 kHz and stopband rejection as high as possible. Passbank amplitude and phase ripple limits are 1 dB and 4° peak-to-peak respectively. Three candidate filters of bandwidth 60 kHz, 400 kHz and 2·180 MHz were selected for detailed design, taking into account spurious effects such as acoustic regeneration and diffraction as well as technology limits. Since the physical length of a SAW filter—as any transversal (FIR) filter—is determined by (i) the required passband amplitude ripple, (ii) the stopband rejection level and (iii) the transition width, the steepness of the required passband-to-stop band transitions in these filters dictates their physical size to be unusually large, resulting in an overall size for each packaged filter of 360 × 38 × 17 mm, i.e. 14·2 × 1·5 × 0·7 inches. The electrical specifications are met by all but the 2180 kHz filter, whose shape factor, for a 30 kHz transition band, would be 1·027 : 1, beyond the state of the art. The filter bank has about 27 dB insertion loss per filter, plus roughly 14 dB (1 : 26) power split loss.     

E-Plane Integrated Parallel-Strip Screen Waveguide Filters (Short Papers)

A rigorous field theory design of a class of rectangular waveguide screen fiIters is presented which achieves improved attenuation in the upper stopband. The method of field expansion into suitable eigenmodes used considers the effects of the finite rectangular E-plane grid thickness and the mutual higher order mode interaction of the single screens. Calculated results up to 55 GHz show that the peak attenuation in the upper stopband for a Ka-band (26-40-GHz) two-resonators filter example with a midband frequency of f/sub 0/= 37 GHz is about 70 dB, whereas its planar circuit single-metal-insert counterpart reaches only about 34 dB. A Ku-band (12- 18-GHz) filter prototype with three metal-etched screens yields a measured passband insertion loss of 0.8 dB at about f/sub 0/= 17 GHz and a measured attenuation in upper stopband of about 50 dB up to 25 GHz.

Classes of Sub-Miniature Microwave Printed Circuit Filters with Arbitrary Passband and Stopband Widths

Four new classes of microwave bandpass filters are defined herein. They are realized in triplate stripline and are exceedingly small devices as a result of using transmission line elements which are a quarter-wavelength well above the frequency of the passband. Each filter corresponds to a bandpass S-plane prototype which is derived using exact synthesis procedures from a specification of transmission zero locations. Passband and stopband widths may be independently specified and an extremely high degree of selectivity can be achieved when necessary. The slope of a filter skirt can he chosen to be such that 60 dB of attenuation is reached at a frequency < 3 percent from the comer of the passband.

Improved stopband attenuation is achieved by thick strips, by reduced waveguide sidewall dimensions, and by double planar integrated circuits. In contrast to thick strips which may cause high passband insertion losses and filters with reduced waveguide dimensions which require additional tapers, double planar E-plane integrated circuit filters combine the advantages of low costs, high stopband, and low passband insertion losses. Computer-aided design of a four-resonator Ka -band double metal insert filter achieves a calculated stopband attenuation between 40 and 60 GHz of more than 50 dB, the calculated minimum passband insertion loss is 0.43 dB (measured 1.8 dB). Higher order mode excitation and finite thicknesses of the inserts are included in the calculations.

A Method of Synthesizing Microwave Bandpass Filters Constructed With Symmetrical or Asymmetrical Compact Microstrip Resonators

This paper presents a method of synthesizing microwave filters consisting of compact microstrip resonators (CMRs). The synthesizing method is based on the conventional insertion-loss design method and can be applied to the design of filters consisting of symmetrical and asymmetrical CMRs. The synthesizing method can help the designer to determine the appropriate layout according to the specified passband and stopband characteristics of the filter. A new type of CMR layout is proposed to suppress the spurious passband response and is applied to the implementation of a Ku-band filter. The measurement of the prototype shows approximately 1.5-dB insertion loss in the passband and a rejection greater than 40 dB at the specified frequencies. Besides, an asymmetrical CMRs filter operated at Ku-band was also designed and fabricated. The measurement result is also close to the computer simulation result. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed design concept     

Parallel-Coupled Coplanar-Waveguide Bandpass Filter With Multiple Transmission Zeros

A compact parallel-coupled coplanar-waveguide bandpass filter with good selectivity and stopband response is proposed. By using the quarter-wavelength resonators in implementation, the filter size can be reduced and no spurious passband is observed at twice the center frequency (2f₀). In addition, by suitably introducing the capacitive and inductive cross-coupling effects, four transmission zeros around the passband edges may be created for improving the filter selectivity. For design purpose, the equivalent-circuit models are also established. In this study, the compact fourth-order filter with multiple transmission zeros for improving the selectivity is implemented, and its stopband is extended up to 3.43f₀ with a rejection better than -30dB
