Abstract :
This paper reports on a narrow band MMIC active filter designed by the real-frequency technique (RFT). RFT provides several advantages over most of the usual techniques : it does not require any active component model and no predetermined matching network topology is necessary. The CAD procedure based on the RFT is introduced to resolve the input and output matching problems. A practical design is proposed for a 7.7-8.1 GHz active filter with two transmission zeroes at 6.8 GHz and 9.2 GHz
