Abstract
An active inductor includes a first transistor, a capacitor, a second transistor, a first resistor, a second resistor, and a bias current source. A source terminal of the first transistor is a first terminal of the active inductor and connected to a first voltage source. The capacitor is connected to the source terminal and gate terminal of the first transistor. A drain terminal of the second transistor is connected to the source terminal of the first transistor. A gate terminal of the second transistor is connected to a drain terminal of the first transistor. The first resistor is connected between the drain terminal of the first transistor and a second terminal of the active inductor. The second resistor is connected to a source terminal of the second transistor. The bias current source is connected between the second resistor and a second voltage source.
