Abstract
A novel MMIC varactor-tuned bandpass filter technique using lossless active resonators has been demonstrated. The resonator has a simple topology and uses only one FET, and yet can produce high values of negative resistance to compensate for losses in the filter. A monolithic three-resonator lumped-element/active filter design has been realised with a chip area of 3/spl times/2 mm/sup 2/. The filter has a 120 MHz 3 dB bandwidth centred on 2.3 GHz, has 0 dB insertion loss with only /spl plusmn/0.1 dB ripple in the pass-band, and gives up to 100 dB of stop-band attenuation at low frequencies, and over 50 dB of rejection up to 6 GHz.Keywords
