In this paper, a new switched opamp is presented in order to improve the operation of auto-zeroed switched capacitor circuit. This approach results in a considerable reduction in power consumption and a moderate speed improvement. Based on the above improvement, a second-order band-pass filter with a center frequency of 833 kHz and quality factor of 8 is realized and compared with previous works. The proposed switched opamp is also utilized in the structure of a novel z to -z2 block for the design of pseudo two-path band-pass filters. A second-order pseudo two-path band-pass filter with the same specification of the previous work is designed, simulated, and compared.

This paper describes the design of a novel cascode-grounded tunable active inductor and its application in an active band-pass filter (BPF) suitable for multi-band radio frequency (RF) front-end circuits. The proposed active inductor circuit uses feedback resistance to improve the equivalent inductance and the quality factor. The novelty of this work lies on the use of a few number of multi-finger transistors, which allows reducing strongly the power consumption and the silicon area. In other words, we demonstrate that the use of variable P-type Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (PMOS) resistor and controllable current source have a good potential for wide tuning in terms of inductance value, quality factor and frequency operation. The RF BPF is realized using the proposed active inductor with suitable input and output buffer stages. The tuning of the center frequency for multi-band operation is achieved through control voltages. The designed active inductor and RF BPF have been implemented in a standard 0.13[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The simulation results are compared between schematic and post-layout design for inductance value, quality factor, transmission coefficient S21 and noise. This design yields encouraging results: the inductance value can be tuned from 10.94 to 44.17[Formula: see text]nH with an optimal quality factor around 2,581. In addition, the center frequency of the BPF can be tuned between 2 and 4.84[Formula: see text]GHz with an average insertion loss of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dB. Throughout this range, the noise figure is between 10.49 and 9.22[Formula: see text]dB with an input referred 1[Formula: see text]dB compression point of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dBm and IIP3 of 7.36[Formula: see text]dBm. The filter occupies 25.43[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m of active area without pads and consumes between 2.38 and 2.84[Formula: see text]mW from a 1[Formula: see text]V supplying voltage.

In this paper, a compact bandpass filter with improved band stop and band pass characteristics for wireless applications is built with four internal conductive poles in a single resonating cavity, which adds novel quad-resonating modes to the realization of band pass filter. This paper covers the design and testing of the S-band combline coaxial cavity filter which is beneficial in efficient filtering functions in wireless communication system design. The metallic cavity high Q coaxial resonators have the advantages of narrowband, low loss, better selectivity and high potential for power handling, as compared to microstrip filter in the application to determine the quality factor of motor oils. Furthermore, the tuning of coupling screws in the combline filter allows in frequency and bandwidth adjustments. An impedance bandwidth of 500 MHz (fractional bandwidth of 12.8%) has been achieved with an insertion loss of less than 2.5 dB and return loss of 18 dB at the resonant frequency. Four-pole resonating cavity filters have been developed with the center frequency of 4.5 GHz. Insert loss at 0 dB and estimated bandwidth at 850 MHz and a quality factor of 4.3 for the band pass frequencies between 4 and 8 GHz is seen in the simulated result.

Envelope analysis based on the combination of complex Morlet wavelet and Kurtogram have advantages of automatic calculation of the center frequency and bandwidth of required band-pass filter. However, there are some drawbacks in the traditional algorithm, which include that the filter bandwidth is not -3dB bandwidth and the analysis frequency band covered by the filter-banks are inconsistent at different levels. A new algorithm is introduced in this paper. Through it, both optimal center frequency and bandwidth of band-pass filter in the envelop analysis can be obtained adaptively. Meanwhile, it ensures that the filters in the filter-banks are overlapped at the point of -3dB bandwidth and the consistency of frequency band that the filter-banks covered.

A reconfigurable band-pass filter with switchable bandwidth, for wireless applications is demonstrated using a dual-mode microstrip square-loop resonator. The proposed filter has been designed on Rogers RO4003C and achieves switchable bandwidth by changing the length of two tuning stubs with the implementation of two strategically placed p-i-n diodes as switching elements. The filter was designed with a center frequency of 2.4 GHz and the two distinct operation states have bandwidths, 113 MHz (4.8%) with an insertion loss of 1.2 dB and 35 MHz (1.5%) with an insertion loss of 1.5 dB. The physical size of the fabricated reconfigurable filter including the implementation of the DC bias lines is comparable to the size of a conventional filter.

This paper describes some of the recent results of an ongoing U.S. Army research program examining the electronic behavior of hyperelastic stretchable capacitor, resistor, and inductor networks for which the conductor material employed is stretchable. As with traditional rigid analog components, stretchable electronic components exhibit frequency-dependant behavior. Unlike their rigid counterparts, stretchable electronic components may also exhibit dramatic strain-dependent behavior. In this way stretchable circuit networks may be viewed as controllable spatio-temporal filters. Resistance, capacitance, and inductance all change to varying degrees depending on the specific set of spatio-temporal inputs. These variations may be harnessed to create an adaptive circuit element that is controllable. This paper describes the results of integrating stretchable components into a tunable band-pass filter. Center frequency, bandwidth, and gain can be varied in a controllable way by varying the capacitance or resistance of specific circuit elements by stretching them. Biaxially stretchable components are described that are subjected to equibiaxial strain-states as high as 100% area strain. We examine the influence that the type of compliant conductor has on tunable circuit properties and on control authority.
