Objectives. The quality of a radio receiver preselector largely determines its main characteristics, including sensitivity. A preselector usually consists of linear elements: inductors, capacitors, low noise amplifiers, and switches. At high frequencies, the components cannot be considered as ideal ones, since active and reactive parasitic parameters significantly affect the frequency response of the components and, as a consequence, the network. Therefore, simulation of the networks requires more sophisticated component models, which take into account parasitic parameters. However, if refined components models are applied, it is still possible to obtain unsatisfactory results, since interconnections and footprints pads also affect the frequency response. This is true even if short lines with a length of about 5 mm are used at frequencies of about 100 MHz. These features must be taken into account for RF network design. The purpose of the work is to ensure the required characteristics of the preselector in the design process based on computer simulation.Methods. Egor Gurov’s methodology for analog VHF LC-filters was applied to radio receiver preselector design. The methodology contains the methods of discrete optimization, Monte-Carlo method, momentum analysis with Green’s functions. Experimental results were obtained by prototype implementation and measurement with a vector network analyzer. The purpose of the work is to ensure the required preselector characteristics in the design process based on computer simulation.Results. The article presents the preselector design process. The preselector contains two analog switches, an analog band-pass filter, an analog high-pass filter, and a low-noise amplifier. Simulation and experimental results with their comparison are presented in the article.Conclusions. Satisfactory results were obtained. It means that Egor Gurov’s method can be applied for more complex networks design such as radio receiver preselectors.

Introduction. Band-pass filters circuit elements can be calculated by converting low-pass filter (LPF) parameters, which is the prototype of the designed band-pass filter. The conversion causes problems in case calculated values of circuit elements (resistors and capacitors) are out of standard values determined by the GOST standard. Obviously, frequency characteristics of band-pass filters are distorted when replacing the calculated values of circuit elements by the standard ones. The number of circuit elements with values different from standard can be reduced to zero by solving an additional system of equations that connects parameters of designed and reintroduced non-equiripple frequency responses. Objective. The objective of this work is to develop a calculation method of band-pass ladder filters with values of circuit elements corresponding to standard ones. Materials and methods. The filter design process includes two stages. The first stage is a parameters calculation of a polynomial LPF prototype. The calculated parameters are determined as a system of equations solution set. The equations are formed by equating coefficients of variables raised to the same powers in transfer function (TF) expressions of designed and realized filters. Initial characteristics are the filter order and frequency response unevenness. The transition to the standard values of circuit elements can be done when solving another system of equations that connects LPF converted parameters with unknown parameters of reintroduced non-equiripple frequency response. Results. TF of LPF prototypes up to the fifth order and frequency responses of band-pass filters (BPF) and bandrejection filters up to the tenth order are presented. Analytical expressions of non-equiripple and equiripple frequency responses are used to estimate distortions of the latter when a band-pass filter center frequency is tuned by using variable inductors or capacitors. The integral quadratic function of a variable is taken as a measure of real frequency response distortions. The tenth order BPF calculation example is given. Conclusion. The presented calculation methods of band-pass filters and given example demonstrate possibilities of the filter design method based on the systems of non-linear equations solution. In contrast to approximation methods of ideal filter frequency response by using special functions and tabular filters design, the presented method allows high-order filter calculation for any initial requirements without using reference data.

The aim of this paper is proposing an alternative method to Gorski-Popiel Technique in realization of synthetic transformers. A new synthetic floating transformer (FT) circuit is also given. The proposed synthetic transformer circuit uses two current backward transconductance amplifiers (CBTAs), three resistors, and two grounded capacitors. The primary self-inductance, the secondary self-inductance, and the mutual inductance can be independently controlled and can be tuned electronically by changing the biasing current of the employed CBTAs. It has a good sensitivity performance with respect to tracking errors. A band-pass filter is also realized to test the performance of the proposed synthetic transformer circuit. The validity of the proposed synthetic transformer circuit is demonstrated by PSPICE simulations and experimental results.

A CMOS active inductor with thermal noise cancelling is proposed. The noise of the transistor in the feed-forward stage of the proposed architecture is cancelled by using a feedback stage with a degeneration resistor to reduce the noise contribution to the input. Simulation results using 90 nm CMOS process show that noise reduction by 80% has been achieved. The maximum resonant frequency and the quality factor obtained are 3.8 GHz and 405, respectively. An RF band-pass filter has been designed based on the proposed noise cancelling active inductor. Tuned at 3.46 GHz, the filter features total power consumption of 1.4 mW, low noise figure of 5 dB, and IIP3 of −10.29 dBm.

In order to realize and present the new model, first, previous models will be simulated in the ADS program. Then, according to the change of their equations and consequently change of basic parameters of these models, optimization and dependency among these parameters and also their frequency response are attended and results of these changes in order to design a new filter are converged.

This paper presents a voltage-mode(VM) tunable multifunction inverse filter configuration employing current differencing buffered amplifiers (CDBA). The presented structure utilizes two CDBAs, two/three capacitors and four/five resistors to realize inverse low pass filter (ILPF), inverse high pass filter (IHPF), inverse band pass filter (IBPF), and inverse band reject filter(IBRF) from the same circuit topology by suitable selection(s) of the branch admittances(s). PSPICE simulations have been performed with 0.18µm TSMC CMOS technology to validate the theory. Some sample experimental results have also been provided using off-the-shelf IC AD844 based CDBA.
