This paper presents a low-voltage ZigBee transceiver covering a unique frequency band of 780/868/915/2400 MHz in 180 nm CMOS technology. The design consists of a receiver with a wideband variable-gain front end and a complex band-pass filter (CBPF) based on poles construction, a transmitter employing the two-point direct-modulation structure, a Ʃ-Δ fractional-N frequency synthesizer with two VCOs and some auxiliary circuits. The measured results show that under 1 V supply voltage, the receiver reaches −93.8 dBm and −102 dBm sensitivity for 2.4 GHz and sub-GHz band, respectively, and dissipates only 1.42 mW power. The frequency synthesizer achieves −106.8 dBc/Hz and −116.7 dBc/Hz phase noise at 1 MHz frequency offset along with 4.2 mW and 3.5 mW power consumption for 2.4 GHz and sub-GHz band, respectively. The transmitter features 2.67 dBm and 12.65 dBm maximum output power at the expense of 21.2 mW and 69.5 mW power for 2.4 GHz and sub-GHz band, respectively.

Cascade Method

Buffer-based CMOS filters are maximally simplified circuits containing as few transistors as possible. Their applications, among others, include nano to micro watt biomedical sensors that process physiological signals of frequencies from 0.01 Hz to about 3 kHz. The order of a buffer-based filter is not greater than two. Hence, to obtain higher-order filters, a cascade of second-order filters is constructed. In this paper, a more general method for buffer-based filter synthesis is developed and presented. The method uses RLC ladder prototypes to obtain filters of arbitrary orders. In addition, a set of novel circuit solutions with ultra-low voltage and power are proposed. The introduced circuits were synthesized and simulated using 180-nm CMOS technology of X-FAB. One of the designed circuits is a fourth-order, low-pass filter that features: 100-Hz passband, 0.4-V supply voltage, power consumption of less than 5 nW, and dynamic range above 60 dB. Moreover, the total capacitance of the proposed filter (31 pF) is 25% lower compared to the structure synthesized using a conventional cascade method (40 pF).

This paper presents a 0.18μm CMOS based Gm-C complex band-pass (CBP) filter with tuning circuit. Active-Gm-C structure with Nauta transconductor and phase-locked loop (PLL) architecture are adopted by the filter and the tuning circuit respectively which can achieve accurate frequency response. The layout size is 970μm×920μm. Under a 1.8V supply voltage, measurement results show that the pass-band gain and the ripple of the filter is 3.1dB and 3dB respectively. The bandwidth after tuning is 32.5MHz, image rejection ratio (IRR) is about 47dB, and the power dissipation of the filter is about 21.6mW.

This article given a second generation current controlled current conveyor positive (CCCII+), second generation current controlled current conveyor negative (CCCII-), Quadrature oscillator with high-Q frequency choosing network and implementing completely different phase oscillators by employing (CCCII+) positive and (CCCII-) negative, and high band pass filter network, the approach is predicted on the CMOS technology . The root of this concept is, considering a customary voltage mode oscillator which consists of band pass filter with prime quality issue (high-Q) and voltage mode amplifier is transfigure into current mode oscillator by replacing tans-conductance amplifier. Because the loop of the oscillator is has lavish selectivity, the oscillator process less distortion. In addition 3dB bandwidth, oscillating condition, oscillation frequency of the oscillator could linearly, independently and electronically be tuned by adjusting the bias current of the (CCCII±)[1], lastly different simulations have been carried out to verify the linearity between output and input ports, range of frequency operations. These results can justify that the designed circuits are workable.

This paper presents a voltage-mode(VM) tunable multifunction inverse filter configuration employing current differencing buffered amplifiers (CDBA). The presented structure utilizes two CDBAs, two/three capacitors and four/five resistors to realize inverse low pass filter (ILPF), inverse high pass filter (IHPF), inverse band pass filter (IBPF), and inverse band reject filter(IBRF) from the same circuit topology by suitable selection(s) of the branch admittances(s). PSPICE simulations have been performed with 0.18µm TSMC CMOS technology to validate the theory. Some sample experimental results have also been provided using off-the-shelf IC AD844 based CDBA.

This paper presents a single current difference transconductance amplifier (CDTA) based all-pass current mode filter. The proposed configuration makes use of a grounded capacitor which makes it suitable for IC implementation. Its input impedance is low and output impedance is high, hence suitable for cascading. The circuit does not use any matching constraint. The nonideality analysis of the circuit is also given. Two applications, namely, a quadrature oscillator and a highQband pass filter are developed with the proposed circuit. The functionality of the circuit is verified with SPICE simulation using 0.35 μm TSMC CMOS technology parameters.
