Abstract :
A novel scheme for tunable integrated CMOS bandpass RF filters using magnetically coupled on-chip inductors is proposed. A filter designed in a 0.6 μm CMOS process exhibits a blocking dynamic range of over 70 dB, when tuned at a center frequency in the range of 900-1000 MHz and a filter Q of 25
