Abstract :
This letter presents a new design for the radio frequency low-noise bandpass filter (BPF) using the active device reduction technique. In a conventional active BPF based on the negative resistance method, the number of active devices depends on the order of the BPF. In the proposed design, the number of active devices is reduced in half, using the suggested new technique. Compared with the conventional active BPF, the proposed one shows better noise figure and consumes less power. We apply this technique to the design of the second order BPF and verify that the measured results exhibit good active filter performances
