Abstract

Methods for designing switched-current ladder filters for wideband applications are presented. By performing UL-LU and LU-UL decompositions on the z-domain matrix description of a bilinear-transformed passive ladder, filter structures are derived which preserve low passband sensitivity even for large relative bandwidths. Derivation procedures are outlined and illustrated by the example of a 10th order LU-UL bandpass filter. The switched-current filters are realised using Euler-type integrators based on S³I cells. A comparison of the properties of different structures demonstrates the advantages of the UL-LU and LU-UL methods
