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 1.2V supply voltage.

In this thesis, an active RC filter using high order inverse chebyshev function is designed and the design method for cascading blocks with low sensitivity and maximum dynamic range is discussed. To have maximum dynamic range, we have proposed the simple algorithm with a pole-zero pairing, the cascading sequence by flatness matrix and optimum gain distribution for a given transfer function. And 2nd order Block is designed with negative feedback to improve the sensitivity problem which had a defect at active RC circuits. Using the suggested method, we have designed the active RC low pass filter of the normalized 7th order inverse chebyshev function, as a results, we have shown that this accord with the given specification.

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 negative feedback loop reduces the variation of loop filter output voltage resulting in jitter characteristic improvement.

This work proposes an 8b 220 MS/s 230 mW 3-stage pipeline CMOS ADC with on-chip filers for temperature- and power- insensitive voltage references. The proposed RC low-pass filters improve switching noise performance and reduce reference settling time at heavy R & C loads without conventional off-chip large bypass capacitors. The prototype ABC fabricated in a 0.25 um CMOS occupies the active die area of 2.25 $\textrm{mm}^2$ and shows the measured DNL and INL of maximum 0.43 LSB and 0.82 LSB, respectively. The ADC maintains the SNDR of 43 dB and 41 dB up to the 110 MHz input at 200 MS/s and 220 MS/s, respectively, while the SNDR at the 500 MHz input is degraded as much as only 3 dB than the SNDR at the 110 MHz input.

This paper presents a digitally-controlled filter calibration technique for biquad RC filter using self oscillation. The biquad RC filter is converted to a fully-differential ring oscillator by changing its resistor connections, where the oscillation frequency reflects the cut-off frequency. The proposed calibration circuit measures the oscillation frequency by counting with a fixed higher-frequency clock and then tunes it to a desired frequency with a digital frequency-locked loop including a PI controller. Because the proposed circuit directly measures the cut-off frequency of the filter itself and calibrates it with the small area digital circuits, the area and the power consumption are much small compared with conventional works. When it is implemented in a 65nm CMOS process, the calibration circuit except the filter consumes the area of 80um X 50um and power consumption is 443uA at 1.2 V supply voltage.

In this paper, we have proposed the AAF and the SMF design method that consist of continuous time active RC filter to prevent aliasing distortion by the limitation of SCF input signal, and to smooth the output signal wave of it. The designed AAF and SMF using continuous active RC filter are fabricated by ORBIT 2 m CMOS n-well process. And then the experiment characteristics of the integrated AAF and SMF are compared with SPICE simulation results.

An active-RC channel selection filter (CSF) with the bandwidth of 40MHz and the improved linearity is proposed in this paper. The proposed CSF is the fifth butterworth filter which consists of a first order low pass filter, two second order low pass filters of a biquad architecture, and DC feedback circuit for cancellation of DC offset. To improve the linearity of the CSF, a body node of a MOSFET for a switch is connected to its source node. The bandwidth of the designed CSF is selected to be 10MHz, 20MHz and 40MHz and its voltage gain is controlled by 6 dB from 0 dB to 24 dB. The proposed CSF is designed by using 40nm 1-poly 8-metal CMOS process with a 1.2V. When the designed CSF operates at the bandwidth of 40 MHz and voltage gain of 0 dB, the simulation results of OIP3, in-band ripple, and IRN are 31.33dBm, 1.046dB, and 39.81nV/sqrt(Hz), respectively. The power consumption and layout area are $450{\times}210{\mu}m^2$ and 6.71mW.

This paper presents a jitter and phase noise characteristic improved phase-locked loop (PLL) with loop filter voltage detector(LFVD) and frequency voltage converter(FVC). Loop filter output voltage variation is determined through a circuit made of resistor and capacitor. The output signal of a small RC time constant circuit is almost the same as to loop filter output voltage. The output signal of a large RC time constant circuit is the average value of loop filter output voltage and becomes a reference voltage to the added LFVD. The LFVD output controls the current magnitude of sub-charge pump. When the loop filter output voltage increases, LFVD decreases the loop filter output voltage. When the loop filter output voltage decreases, LFVD increases the loop filter output voltage. In addition, FVC also improves the phase noise characteristic by reducing the loop filter output voltage variation. The proposed PLL with LFVD and FVC is designed in a 0.18um CMOS process with 1.8V power voltage. Simulation results show 0.854ps jitter and 30㎲ locking time.

The recent interest in the design of filters is motivatied by the fact that such filter can be fully integrated using standard metal-oxide-semiconductor processing technology. This is due to replacing all the resistors in the active RC filter network by the switched capacitors. The voltage gain of a SC filter depends only on the rations of capacitance and these ratios can be obtained and maintained to high accuracy. Therefore, it is known that a switched capacitor is much better than a resistor in temperature and linearity characteristics. This paper proposed a programmable SC filter and proved the fact that ${omega}_0$ Q and G of this circuit can be controlled by digital signal. Experiments show that SC filter remains the low sensitivities but it can't avoid little influence of parasitic capacitance. As the transfer characteristic of the SC filter is varied with sampling frequency and resistor array, SC filtering technigue can be applied for digital processing, speech analysis and synthesis and so on.

We investigate the design of an interpolation filter of a MF-TDMA demodulator which is applied to DVB-RCS. If sampling is not synchronized to the data symbols, timing adjustment in digital receiver must be performed by interpolation. It is impossible that conventional sinc interpolation filter coefficients are actually extended to infinity. We propose a Kaiser window interpolation filter and a sinc interpolation filter using th Kaiser window. Simulation results show that the performance improvement is realized by employing the proposed interpolation filter.
