Figure 102. Linearity of the filter versus gm2<br />

Based on Figure 99 and the specifications of the TV tuner RF filter stage, <strong>Gm</strong>-cells are<br />

chosen with linearity levels higher than 20dBm OIP3 and a mo<strong>de</strong>rate voltage gain (around<br />

22dB) so as to get a mo<strong>de</strong>rate filter quality factor. It allows avoiding the linearity<br />

<strong>de</strong>gradation due to the voltage peaking at the gyrator internal no<strong>de</strong>. This is illustrated on<br />

Figure 99 where the 10dBm linearity of the filter is reached for 20dBm transconductors and a<br />

Q-factor of 5.<br />

<strong>III</strong>.1.c Noise Consi<strong>de</strong>rations<br />

From the RLC equivalent circuit, <strong>de</strong>picted in Figure 98, it can be <strong>de</strong>monstrated that the<br />

output noise power at f0 is proportional to Q 2 [<strong>III</strong>.2]. In<strong>de</strong>ed, the equivalent admittance Yeq at<br />

the output of the transconductor <strong>Gm</strong>3 is:<br />
