Abstract

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.
