Abstract
A fourth-order low-pass continuous-time filter for a WSN transmitter is presented. The active RC filter was chosen for the high linearity, designed by using the leapfrog topology imitates the passive filter. The operation amplifier (op-amp) adopted by the filter is feed-forward operation amplifier, which could get the GBW as large as possible under the low power consumption. The cut-off frequency deviation due to the process corner, aging and temperature deviation is adjusted by an automatic frequency tuning circuit. The filter in a 0.18μm RF CMOS technology consumes 1mW from a 1V power supply. The measured results of the chip show that the bandwidth is about 1.5MHz. The voltage gain of filter is about-4.5dB with the buffer, the ripple in the pass-band is lower than 0.5 dB, and the channel rejection ratio is larger than 30dB at 4MHz.
