摘要
In this paper, we propose a novel bandpass filter design that incorporates automatic gain control (AGC). The gain control in the filter reduces the performance requirements of a wideband AGC, and allows for low-power multichannel compression. The filter achieves up to 15 dB of compression on a 55-dB input dynamic range and is tunable over the audio frequency range, with microwatt power consumption and <5% harmonic distortion.
