In this paper, a [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] low-pass and low power filter with tunable in-band attenuation for WiMAX/LTE receiver is presented. The fourth-order filter consists of two cascaded biquad stages. The source-follower (SF) stage is used as a key building block in these biquads. In this paper, we have presented a circuit technique to reduce the nonlinearity of the SF stage resulting from unmatched signal swings at the gate and source terminals of the input transistor. The proposed SF stage, is used for design of a linear biquad which is then utilized in a fourth-order Butterworth low-pass filter. The simulation results of the filter for bandwidth of 10 MHz show that the IIP3 of the filter is equal to 8.22[Formula: see text]dBm, in-band noise density is 100[Formula: see text]nV/[Formula: see text]Hz and power consumption is 5.9[Formula: see text]mW. The supply voltage of the filter is equal to 1[Formula: see text]V.

A novel capacitance multiplier is proposed to implement an ultra-low-frequency filter for physiological signal processing in biomedical applications. With the proposed multiplier, a simple first-order low-pass filter achieves a [Formula: see text]3-dB frequency of 33.4[Formula: see text]μHz with a 1-pF capacitance and a 20[Formula: see text]k[Formula: see text] resistance. This corresponds to a multiplication factor of as large as [Formula: see text]. By changing the controlling terminal, the [Formula: see text]3-dB frequency can be tuned in a wide range of 33.4[Formula: see text]μHz–6.3[Formula: see text]kHz.
