title = "An Integrated Tunable Electrical-Balance Filter with >60dB Stopband Attenuation and 1.75-3.7GHz Stopband Tuning Range",
abstract = "This paper proposes the concept of electrical balance filters to enable integrated, tunable RF filters, where a pass- and stopband are designed by the change in electrical-balance across frequency. These filters can be constructed using low Q integrated LC resonators. The stopband frequency is the frequency where two on chip balance networks are tuned to be equal in impedance or {\textquoteleft}balanced{\textquoteright}, while the passband frequency is the frequency where the balance condition is disturbed as much as possible for low insertion loss. A 1.5mm2 electrical balance low-pass filter prototype is implemented in 0.18µm SOI CMOS. It has <4dB insertion loss at 1GHz with a >60dB, >33MHz stopband tunable from 1.75 to 3.7 GHz.",
