HIGH QUALITY FACTOR L-BAND ACTIVE INDUCTOR-BASED BAND-PASS FILTERS
Abstract
In this letter, a tunable high-Q active inductor with high dynamic range is presented. The equivalent inductance and resistance values can be tunable in a wide frequency range by changing the compensating network components values; outside the operating frequency band, the equivalent resistance increases, improving signal rejection for band-pass filter applications. A second-order active band-pass filter with a central frequency of 2100 MHz using the high-Q active inductance has been fabricated and tested.
