Efficient UWB filter design technique for integrated passive device implementation

Abstract; A new approach is proposed to act as an efficient design technique for the implementation of ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filters in integrated passive device technology. The proposed design is based on two major original contributions. First, the use of hourglass filter theory which, to the best of authors knowledge, has not been applied yet […]

Efficient UWB low noise amplifier with high out of band interference cancellation

Abstract; This work provides a new co-design methodology of ultrawide band (UWB) low-noise amplifier (LNA) with high out of band interference cancellation. The solution consists to cascade a selective microstrip UWB bandpass filter (BPF) with the proposed 0.18 μm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor-based LNA. Indeed, the usefulness of this co-design technique is to address the interference mitigation […]

Design of miniaturized CMOS bandpass filters for ultra-wideband applications

Abstract; In this paper, a set of ultra-compact CMOS bandpass filters are proposed for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. For this aim, a comparative study was first performed enabling to deduce that Chebyshev-inverse and Hourglass filtering functions can be the most suitable for UWB operation. The impact of the latter functions on the easiness of implementation in […]
