Figure 87. Biquad Schematic<br />

The <strong>Gm</strong>-cells of this filter are based on a differential pair <strong>de</strong>signed in 130nm CMOS<br />

with a common-mo<strong>de</strong> feedback, as illustrated in Figure 88. A constant gm value is obtained<br />

and linearized by dynamic source <strong>de</strong>generation. Negative resistance have also been ad<strong>de</strong>d on<br />

gm1 and gm2 to enhance the quality factor. Thanks to three of these <strong>Gm</strong>-cells, the biquad can be<br />

obtained. Cascading four biquads allows the creation of an eighth or<strong>de</strong>r bandpass filter.<br />

Figure 88. Reported <strong>Gm</strong>-cell<br />

In [II.18], two filters have been realized, based on this <strong>Gm</strong>-cell. The first filter<br />

operates from 48 MHz to 287 MHz and is an eighth or<strong>de</strong>r bandpass filter. It is used to reject<br />

harmonic frequencies. The second filter is a second or<strong>de</strong>r bandpass filter which operates from<br />

287 MHz till 860 MHz. This second filter is mainly used to reject adjacent channels.<br />

Reference [II.19] <strong>de</strong>scribes the use of a single biquad between 50 and 300MHz. The<br />

great asset of this structure is the reported power consumption of 7.6mW due to a 1.2V supply<br />

voltage. In terms of dynamic range, an IIP3 of 5dBm for a NF of 20dB is reported.<br />
