This paper presents a jitter characteristic improved phase locked loop (PLL) with an RC time constant circuit. In the RC time constant circuit, LPF's voltage is inputted to a comparator through small and large RC time constant circuits. The signal through a small RC time constant circuit has almost same loop filter output voltage. The signal through a large RC time constant circuit has the average value of loop filter output voltage and does as a role of reference voltage to the comparator. The output of the comparator controls the sub-charge pump which provide a current to LPF. When the loop filter output voltage increases, the sub-charge pump discharges the loop filter and decreases loop filter output voltage. When the loop filter output voltage decreases, the sub-charge pump charges the loop filter and increases loop filter output voltage. The negative feedback loop reduces the variation of loop filter output voltage resulting in jitter characteristic improvement.

This paper proposes a phase-locked loop (PLL) to minimize the loop filter output voltage fluctuation by using a comparator including RC time constant circuits. The voltage variation of loop filter is inputted to RC time constant circuits which have two RC time constants, large and small. While a small RC time constant circuit quickly conveys the output voltage variation of loop filter, a large RC time constant circuit conveys slowly the output voltage variation of loop filter and its output looks like constant voltage. The output signal of the comparator controls the sub charge pump and reduces the input voltage variation of voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). Therefore, the proposed PLL generates a phase noise reduced signal. It has been designed with a 1.8V supply voltage, 0.18um multi - metal and multi - poly layer CMOS process and proved by Hspice simulation.

Continuous-time integrated filters, implemented in MOS VLSI technology, have been receiving considerable attention. In this paper, a continuous-time fifth order elliptic low-pass MOSFET-C filter has been designed with a cutoff frequency 3,400Hz. First an active RC filter is designed using cascade method which each block can be tunable. And then the resistors of an active RC network are replaced by a linear resistor using NMOS depletion transistors operated in the triode region. This continuous-time MOSFET filter have simpler structure than switched-capacitor filter, so reduce the chip area. The designed MOSFET-C filter characteristics are simulated by PSPICE program.

Analog channel selection filter is described which is designed for a direct-conversion receiver of a IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN. The channel selection filter is an active-RC fifth-order Chebyshev filter with 10MHz cut-off frequency. Two-stage operational amplifier of the filter employs a current re-using feedforward frequency compensation scheme to minimize the power consumption. The filter has been implemented in a 0.18mm CMOS technology and the experimental results show 20mW power consumption with 1.8V supply voltage and 19dB out-of-band iIP3.

This paper has proposed a multi-channel low pass filter (LPF) for LTE-Advanced systems. The proposed LPF is an active-RC 5th chebyshev topology with three cut-off frequencies of 5 MHz, 10 MHz, and 40 MHz. A 3-bit tuning circuit has been adopted to prevent variations of each cut-off frequency from process, voltage, and temperature (PVT). To achieve a high cut-off frequency of 40 MHz, an operational amplifier used in the proposed filter has employed a PMOS cross-connection load with a negative impedance. A proposed filter has been implemented in a 0.13-${\mu}m$ CMOS technology and consumes 20.2 mW with a 1.2 V supply voltage.

The fast-growing market in wireless communications has led to the development of multi-standard mobile terminals. In this paper, a frequency-tunable active RC bandpass filter for multi-standards wireless communication system is designed using an active inductor. The conventional bandpass filter design methods employ the high order filter or high quality factor Q to improve the stopband attenuation characteristics and frequency selectivity of the passband. The proposed bandpass filter based on the high Q active inductor has an improved frequency characteristics. The center frequency and gain of the designed bandpass filter is tuned by employing the tuning circuit. We have performed the simulation using TSMC $0.18{\mu}m$ process parameter to analyze the characteristics of the designed active RC bandpass filter. The bandpass filter with Q=20.5 has 90MHz half power bandwidth at the center frequency of 1.86GHz. Moreover, the center frequency of the proposed bandpass filter can be tuned between 1.86~2.38GHz for the multi-standards wireless communication system using the capacitor of the tuning circuit.

최근 ISI(intersymbol interference)를 제거하는 성형 펄스로 BTRC(better than raised-cosine), MRC(mirrored raised-cosine), 그리고 TPZD(trapezoidal) 등이 제안되었다. 본 연구에서는 동일채널 간섭신호가 존재하는 환경에서 BTRC, MRC, TPZD, 그리고 RC(raised-cosine) 성형 펄스를 적용한 무선통신 시스템들의 성능을 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여 비교 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 필터의 길이가 심볼 길이의 3이하로 짧은 경우에는 사용된 성형 필터에 따른 성능차이가 있으며, MRC 필터가 가장 우수한 성능을 가지고 RC 필터가 가장 열화된 성능을 가짐을 관찰하였다. 그러나 필터의 길이가 충분히 확보된 경우에는 성능의 차이는 거의 없었다. 그러므로 하드웨어의 제약으로 인하여 필터의 길이를 길게 할 수 없는 시스템에서는 MRC 필터를 성형 필터로 적용하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단된다.

The Switched-Capacitor Integrator(SCI) is a basic building block of Switched-Scpacitor Filter(SCF). But owing to the errors from the finite gain and bandwidth of op-amp on SCI, the most of SCP are limited to their applications. Although many of the compensation methods developed for active RC filters can be directly adapted to SCF, this is not true for the analysis of the effects of the op-amp dynamics on the filter response. The effect of finite op-amp gain is similar to the active RC filters. But SCF is more toter-ant of the finite op-amp bandwidth. In this paper, we have considered the errors of the finite gain and bandwidth of op-amp on SCI , and presented the simple and effective methods of compensating the errors of SCI due to the finite op-amp gain using the buffer circuit.

In this paper five-order Butterworth Low pass active RC filter is designed by using FDNR (Frequency Dependent Ncgative Resistor) Method from LC ladder filter having the lowest sensitivity. In process of Transformation to SCF (Switched Capacitor Filter) from active RC filter, Bilinear Z Transfomation method is utilized. By the design of SCF using the bilinear Z transform method the problem of aliasing can be avoided, but the frequency distortion is generated. The transformation from analog filter to digital filter is not equal in the region of the cut off frequency caused by this effect. Avoiding the problem of this effect, we use prewarping method. The result shows that the prewarped SCF makes more remarkable improvement in the frequency distortion than SCF which is transformed by using bilinear Z transform.
