Abstract :
The design of a Gm-C filter for High-Frequency applications is described in this paper. A low-pass, sixth-order elliptic Gm-C filter based on the new biquadratic architecture in 0.18 um CMOS process is designed with the proper dynamic rang. A simple structure of the high Q biquadratic filter is used to enhance the linearity and tunability of the filter. The cut off frequency of this filter is 33 MHz. It has a THD of -45 dB for 0.2 Vpp, 8 MHz signal. The complete filter including on-chip tuning circuit consumes only 0.8 mA with 1.8 V single supply voltage.
