摘要：
A tunable Q-enhanced filter with low passband distortion is presented. The Q of the on-chip spiral inductors that form the filter resonators is enhanced by using a cross-coupled differential pair which is degenerated by a second LC tank. This technique allows for frequency dependent compensation of inductor losses and ensures that the Q-enhanced LC resonators have a frequency behaviour close to the ideal in the passband of the filter. The circuit allows DC voltage control of Q-enhancement. The filter centered at 2.0 GHz with a 130 MHz bandwidth is tunable in frequency by 3%, exhibits a -6.6 dBm 1-dB compression point and a 15 dB noise figure while consuming 17 mW of DC power. The circuit was fabricated in 0.18-mu m CMOS and the performance was verified experimentally.
