II.2.c Second Or<strong>de</strong>r Bandpass Filter for TV Tuners Specifications<br />

Assuming a second or<strong>de</strong>r bandpass filter topology, the specifications previously set on<br />

the RF selectivity stage can be converted in terms of filter bandwidth and Q-factor. Figure 66<br />

<strong>de</strong>picts these two parameters as a function of the filter central frequency.<br />

Figure 66. Q and BW versus central frequency from specifications<br />

Hence, at low frequencies where harmonic rejections are dominant, it means a<br />

constant-Q rejection to reach the minimal rejection of H3. Aadjacent channels become the<br />

most stringent specification to fulfil. Then, a constant-BW rejection is required to reach the<br />

minimal rejection of the adjacent channels.<br />

Figure 67 <strong>de</strong>scribes the N±5 channel and the third harmonic rejection versus the filter<br />

central frequency, for various Q-factors. This figure highlights how selective a filter should be<br />

to reject adjacent channels as high as specified.<br />
