Abstract
Direct incorporation of transmission zeros into a continuous-time active complex BP filter transfer function yields a filter having much sharper roll-off than that of an all-pole filter. The ladder filter is constructed using transconductors and capacitors only. The filter center frequency, its bandwidth and positions of transmission zeros can be electronically varied using tunable transconductors. The positions of zeros are changed by modifying cross-coupled differential transconductors connected between capacitors in parallel with the series inductors. Since all transconductors used in the filter are electronically tunable an automatic tuning system conveniently adjusts the filter center-frequency and its Q-factor.
