CORE OF AN ASP SYSTEM: THE PHASER Tin = T0 (a) Tout > T0 The dispersive element H(!) in Fig. 1, which manipulates the spectral components of the input signal in the time τ(ω) ∆ω domain, is the core of an ASP system. We suggest to call τ02 such a dispersive element, in which a nonlinear phase versus ∆τ ω1,ω2 ∆τ frequency response is necessary for ASP, a phaser. Several τ01 τ02 ω terms have been used by the authors and discussed with τ01 ω01 ω02 colleagues from various academic and industrial backgrounds. ω01 ω02 t H(ω) = ejφ(ω) t After much reflection, “phaser” imposed itself as the most appropriate term.

  • High Frequency Integrated MOS Filters C
    N94-71118 2nd NASA SERC Symposium on VLSI Design 1990 5.4.1 High Frequency Integrated MOS Filters C. Peterson International Microelectronic Products San Jose, CA 95134 Abstract- Several techniques exist for implementing integrated MOS filters. These techniques fit into the general categories of sampled and tuned continuous- time niters. Advantages and limitations of each approach are discussed. This paper focuses primarily on the high frequency capabilities of MOS integrated filters. 1 Introduction The use of MOS in the design of analog integrated circuits continues to grow. Competitive pressures drive system designers towards system-level integration. System-level integration typically requires interface to the analog world. Often, this type of integration consists predominantly of digital circuitry, thus the efficiency of the digital in cost and power is key. MOS remains the most efficient integrated circuit technology for mixed-signal integration. The scaling of MOS process feature sizes combined with innovation in circuit design techniques have also opened new high bandwidth opportunities for MOS mixed- signal circuits. There is a trend to replace complex analog signal processing with digital signal pro- cessing (DSP). The use of over-sampled converters minimizes the requirements for pre- and post filtering. In spite of this trend, there are many applications where DSP is im- practical and where signal conditioning in the analog domain is necessary, particularly at high frequencies. Applications for high frequency filters are in data communications and the read channel of tape, disk and optical storage devices where filters bandlimit the data signal and perform amplitude and phase equalization. Other examples include filtering of radio and video signals.

The proposed circuits can be used for analog signal processing applications such as amplifiers, operational transconductance amplifiers (OTA), Gm-C filters, etc. In the proposed circuits, cascode current mirror topology is employed to improve current mirroring operation. The proposed circuits have been simulated using TSMC 0.18µm CMOS process technology with a supply voltage of 1.8 V. The proposed circuits operate efficiently within the current range of 0 to 80µA with the permissible error percentage of less than 2.5%. The SPICE simulation results have been presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed circuits. KEYWORDS: Adaptive biasing, cascode current mirror, current mode circuits, adder, subtractor.. I.INTRODUCTION In low-voltage/ low-power analog systems, current-mode signal processing has been usually considered an attractive strategy due to its potential for high-speed operation and low-voltage compatibility [1]-[4]. The behaviour of electrical circuits is always the result of interplay between voltage and current. In current mode circuits (CMCs), the currents determine the complete circuit response. The voltage signals are irrelevant in determining the circuit performance.

Butterworth, Chebyshev-I Analog Low Pass Filters are developed and implemented in this paper. The filters are manually calculated using approximations and verified using Python Programming Language. Filters are also simulated in Proteus 8 Professional and implemented in the Hardware Lab using the necessary components. This paper also denotes the comparison and performance analysis of filters using Manual Computations, Hardware, and Software. Keywords Filter Design · Butterworth Filter · Chebyshev-I Filter 1 Introduction Filters play a crucial role in the field of digital and analog signal processing and communication networks. The standard analog filter architecture consists of two main components: the problem of approximation and the problem of synthesis. The primary purpose is to limit the signal to the specified frequency band or channel, or to model the input-output relationship of a specific device.[20][12] This paper revolves around the following two analog filters: – Butterworth Low Pass Filter – Chebyshev-I Low Pass Filter These filters play an essential role in alleviating unwanted signal parts.
