Abstract :
Evaluation of the harmonic distortion in the frequency domain for a G m-C biquad filter is carried out by using a phasor notation. This approach allows a pencil and paper analysis, thus yielding a clever understanding of harmonic generation and highlighting the role of each single contribution. Theoretical results are compared and validated through spectre simulations.
