摘要:
A filtering device includes a low-pass filter (LPF), a noise estimation circuit and a first combining circuit. The LPF receives and filters a pre-filtering signal to generate an output signal of the filtering device. The noise estimation circuit estimates an estimated noise signal according to the output signal and the pre-filtering signal. The first combining circuit subtracts the estimated noise signal from an input signal of the filtering device to generate the pre-filtering signal.

One or more systems, devices and/or methods of use provided herein relate to a baseband filter that can be used in a current-mode end-to-end signal path. The current-mode end-to-end signal path can include a digital to analog converter (DAC) operating in current-mode and an upconverting mixer, operating in current-mode and operatively coupled to the DAC. In one or more embodiments, a device used in the signal path can comprise a baseband filter that receives an input current and outputs an output current. The baseband filter can comprise a feedback loop component having an active circuit branch and a passive circuit branch coupled in a loop. A mirroring device can be coupled to the feedback loop component and can provide an output of the device. Selectively activating the mirroring device can vary gain, such as of the mirroring device.

Techniques are generally described herein related to filters including first operational transconductance amplifier (first OTA) and a second operational transconductance amplifier (second OTA). In some examples described herein, the first OTA and second OTA have substantially the same transconductance. The first and second OTAs can be configured to realize filters such as first-order all-pass filters, second-order all-pass filters, higher-order all-pass filters, and quadrature oscillators.

A GmC filter that suppresses unwanted signals generated by a GmC compression stage. The GmC filter utilizes the same compression stage for the decompression stages. By using the same compression stage for the decompression stages unwanted in-band signals generated by the compression stage are suppressed. Further, over all circuitry is decreased, power is saved, and GmC filter design is simplified.

A circuit includes first and second transconductance stages each having an input to receive a signal, and a current combiner circuit coupled to outputs of the first and second transconductance stages. The current combiner circuit forms a path from the first transconductance stage to (i) one of a plurality of output paths or (ii) multiple output paths of the output paths. The current combiner circuit severs the second transconductance stage from the output paths when the first transconductance stage forms a path to one of the output paths. The current combiner circuit forms a path from the second transconductance stage to the multiple output paths when the first transconductance stage forms a path to the multiple output paths. The current combiner circuit couples current from the first transconductance stage to (i) a first output path or a second output path or (ii) both the first and second output paths.
摘要:
Nth-order OTA-C (Operational Transconductance Amplifiers and Capacitors) filter structures are realized by using the analytical synthesis method to achieve the following three important criteria simultaneously: filters use just n grounded capacitors, each of which is located at each of just n nodes in the realized circuit, because they use smaller area in the IC, and they can absorb equivalent shunt capacitive parasites; filters employ only single-ended-input OTAs to overcome the feed-through effects due to finite input parasitic capacitances associated with double-input OTAs to replace the same positions of the n given capacitors; and filters have the least number-of components (passive and active) for a given order to reduce power consumption, chip areas, and noise. Both the first and the second criteria lead to the minimum parasitic distortion and make the most precise output signals. And the third criterion produces the cheapest chip.
