A fully differential transconductor using the series composite transistor is proposed. Simulation results show that THD is less than 1.2% for the differential input signal of up to $1.5V_{p-p}$ when the input signal frequency is 10MHz. i he proposed transconductor is used to design a third-order elliptic Gm-C lowpass filter with 138kHz cutoff frequency for ADSL Tx filter. The design procedure is based on signal flow graph(SFG) of a doubly-terminated LC ladder filter by means of fully differential transconductors and capacitors. The filter is fabricated and measured with a $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS process.

This paper presents a new CMOS fully-differential second-generation current conveyor (FDCCII). The proposed FDCCII is based on a fully-differential difference transconductor as an input stage and two class AB output stages. Besides the proposed FDCCII circuit operating at a supply voltage of ${\pm}1.5\;V$, it has a total standby current of $380\;{\mu}A$. The applications of the FDCCII to realize a variable gain amplifier, fully-differential integrator, and fully-differential second-order bandpass filter are given. The proposed FDCII and its applications are simulated using CMOS $0.35\;{\mu}m$ technology.

OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is widely used in wideband wireless communication systems due to its excellentperformance. One of the most important operations in the OFDM receivers is preamble detection. This paper presents a differential detection method with moving average filter, which is similar to extended differential detection, and a filter determination method to achieve the best performance invarious environments. The proposed method show that the optimal filter size decreases as the delay spread increases and as the signal-to-noise ratio increases.

In this paper, we propose an enhanced Timing Estimator algorithm for 2.45GHz LR-WPAN receiver. Because an expensive and highly efficient oscillator can't be used for low-cost implementation, a Timing Estimator algorithm having stable operation in the channel environment with center frequency tolerance of 80 ppm is required. To enhance the robustness to frequency offset and the stability of receiver performance, multiple delay differential filter is adopted. By utilizing the characteristic that the correlation result between the output signal of Multiple delay differential filter and reference signal is restricted on the In-phase part of the correlator output, a coherent detection scheme instead of the typical noncoherent one is adopted for Timing Estimator. The application of the coherent detection scheme is suitable for LR-WPAN receiver aimed at low-cost, low-power, and low-complexity, since it can remove performance degradation due to squaring loss of I/Q squaring operation and decrease implementation complexity. Computer simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieved performance improvement compared with the differential detection-based noncoherent scheme by 2dB in average.

In this paper, a compact common mode filter using passive elements is designed and fabricated. To design a common mode filter with required frequency response, the equivalent circuits of the common mode filter in differential mode and common mode were analyzed. Compared with the former filter using a ${\lambda}/4$ resonator, the size of the proposed structure was reduced by 60 %. The fabricated common mode filter has a maximum differential mode insertion loss of 1.2 dB and a minimum common mode absorption efficiency of 78.2% in the CMA - bandwidth of 27.5 %.

In this paper, a new CMOS continuous-time fully-differential current-mode integrator is proposed as a basic building block of the low-voltage high frequency current-mode active filter. The proposed integrator is composed of the CMOS complementary circuit which can extend transconductance of an integrator. Therefore, the unity gain frequency which is determined by a small-signal transconductance and a MOSFET gate capacitance can be expanded by the complementary transconductance of the proposed integrator. And also the magnitude of pole and zero are increased. The unity gain frequency of the proposed integrator is increased about two times larger than that of the conventional continuous-time fully-differential integrator with NMOS-gm. These results are verified by the small signal analysis and the SPICE simulation. As an application circuit of the proposed fully-differential current-mode integrator, the three-pole Chebyshev lowpass filter is designed using 0.8.$\mu$m CMOS processing parameters. SPICE simulation predicts a 3-dB bandwidth of 148MHz and power dissipation of 4.3mW/pole for the three-pole filter with 3-V power supply.

This paper presents a novel balanced filter design based on a metamaterial structure applicable to differential-mode excitation. The metamaterial structure is based on a unit-cell which under a differential-mode excitation behaves like composite right/left-handed(CRLH) metamaterial with filter characteristics. In contrast, the metamaterial unit-cell is below cut-off under a common-mode excitation. Experimental results are used to verify the proposed metamaterial's differential-mode characteristics. The metamaterial is fabricated with a balanced filter design resulting in an operating frequency range of 960~1000 MHz with a insertion loss of 4.1 dB.

Performance characteristics of the position-domain Hatch filter is analyzed for differential global navigation satellite systems. It is shown that the position-domain Hatch filter generates white measurement residual sequences, which is beneficial property for fault detection. It is also shown that the position-domain Hatch filter yields more accurate a priori state estimate than the position-domain Kalman-type filter. Thus, it can be concluded that the position-domain Hatch filter is beneficial in wide application areas where fault-tolerance and accuracy are required at the same time.

In this study, an inverter system connected to a grid through a paralleled LCL filter is proposed. The system consists of two inverters paralleled and operated with interleaved PWM for powering up and performance improvement. Two LCL filters have two separate filter inductors and one set of filter capacitor and grid inductor in common. The differential mode current circulates through two inverters and two filter inductors. The differential mode current is removed from the filter capacitor and the power grid. Accordingly, performance improvement can be achieved due to the reduced currents in the filter capacitor and the reduced harmonics into a grid. A single-phase prototype has been made and tested, and the proposal has been verified.

A new CMOS voltage-controlled fully-differential transconductor is presented. The basic structure of the proposed transconductor is based on a four-MOS transistor cell operating in the triode or saturation region. It achieves a high linearity range of ${\pm}\;1\;V$ at a 1.5 V supply voltage. The proposed transconductor is used to realize a new fully-differential Gm-C low-pass filter with a minimum number of transconductors and grounded capacitors. PSpice simulation results for the transconductor circuit and its filter application indicating the linearity range and verifying the analytical results using $0.35\;{\mu}m$ technology are also given.
