  • 在本篇論文中,我們希望合併多個轉導放大器做出一個可切換多個頻寬的低功率濾波器。我們提出了一個多重輸入與一個多重輸出的的轉導放大器,作法是合併兩組輸入於一個轉導放大器與兩組輸出於另一個轉導放大器來達成這個設計目標。我們利用所提出的轉導放大器來組成一個適用於無線通訊應用可切換六個頻寬的四階轉導電容濾波器。這六個頻寬分別是:0.875 MHz、1.75 MHz、2.75 MHz、3.5 MHz、5 MHz、10MHz。此外,因為轉導放大器的轉導值可藉由調整其控制電壓而改變,而最大轉導值與最小轉導值相差約四倍,所以此轉導電容濾波器的頻寬可涵蓋 0.4375 MHz ~ 20MHz。我們可以利用調整轉導值來克服晶片製程中所產生的頻寬變異。為了抵抗製程變異,我們採用”固定電容”的電路架構,期望二階濾波器的Q值固定不會隨頻段改變,亦設計了一個在晶片上的可自動調整濾波器頻寬系統用來自動補償頻寬的變異。因為在可自動調整頻寬系統中大多使用了數位的電路,所以可自動調整頻寬系統的功率損耗以及面積便可大為降低。


    In this thesis, a low-power-consumption multi-bandwidth filter is proposed. There are two operational transconductance amplifiers(OTA) to be designed. One is multi-input and the other is multi-output. By using both OTAs, a six-bandwidth fourth-order Gm-C filter is realized. The six bandwidths are 0.875 MHz, 1.75 MHz, 2.75 MHz, 3.5 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz. Moreover, the bandwidth of the Gm-C filter can be tuned by the transconductance of the OTA. An on-chip automatic frequency tuning system is also designed to compensate.
    To verify this design, a test chip is fabricated with TSMC 0.18 μm CMOS process and the power supply is 1.8 V. According to the simulation results, total harmonic distortion (THD) is small than 1% when input signal is 1Vppd; IIP3 are more than 5 dBV; P1dB are more than -3 dBV; total capacitors are smaller then 15pF; current consumption is small than 15mA; and bandwidth tuning error is small than 5%.
