Polyphase filters comprising filters each filter comprising passive elements. The filters are provided with integrators comprising amplifiers with admittance elements in feedback paths to create one or more other poles not situated on the negative imaginary axis in the plane pole-zero plot. A conductance element couples an output of an integrator to an input of a previous integrator for introducing a frequency shift for at least one pole in the plane pole-zero plot. A capacitor couples an output of an integrator to an input of a next integrator for improving the quality factor of the polyphase filter, which factor can then exceed . A signal inversion allows conductance elements to have negative values necessary for locating at least one pole at the most optimal location in the plane pole-zero plot.

An LR polyphase filter implemented with inductors and resistors and capable of operating at high frequencies is described. In one design, the LR polyphase filter includes first and second paths, with each path including an inductor coupled to a resistor. The first and second paths receive a first input signal and provide first and second output signals, respectively, which may be in quadrature. For a differential design, the polyphase filter further includes third and fourth paths, which receive a second input signal and provide third and fourth output signals, respectively. The four output signals may be 90° out of phase. The first and second input signals are for a differential input signal. The first and third output signals are for a first differential output signal, and the second and fourth output signals are for a second differential output signal. Each inductor may be implemented with a transmission line.

A composite resonance circuit is provided of which the resonance frequency range can be set with greater degrees of freedom with the peak frequency of the resonance characteristic curve of a resonance unit having good linearity and the resonance sharpness Q-factor being kept within a desired range. In the composite resonance circuit according to the present invention, first and second relay circuits are respectively connected between the resonance unit and first and second phase shift circuits that shift an input frequency signal by different phases. Hence, the resonance frequency range can be set by setting the gains and impedances of the first and second relay circuits according to its use, without changing resonance elements or the like of the resonance unit.

[Problem] To obtain a variable frequency source that produces high purity signals. [Constitution] A serial resonance circuit is prepared. The serial resonance circuit is configured of a pair of resonance elements serially connected to each other at a midpoint therebetween and exhibiting resonance frequencies equal to each other.

An image reject circuit comprises a local oscillator (26) for producing a local oscillator signal. A tunable phase shifting network (29) has inputs (1, 3) for receiving the local oscillator signal and producing an output in-phase (I) signal (13, 25) and an output quadrature (Q) signal (15, 27). A first amplitude detector (33) determines the amplitude of the output (I) signal, while a second amplitude detector (35) determines the amplitude of the output (Q) signal. A comparator (37) determines the difference between the amplitudes of the output (I) and (Q) signals, to produce a tuning signal for tuning the phase shifting network (29) to bring the difference between the amplitudes of the output (I) and (Q) signals towards a desired level. Preferably, the tunable phase shifting network (29) (shown in Figure 4) comprises a combination of tunable capacitive, resistive and inductive elements.
