Abstract
In this paper, we present a new 2-pole bandpass filter associated with an active impedance. The active part is equivalent to a negative resistance and a tunable capacitor. Its role is both to compensate for the losses of the filter and to adjust the resonant frequency. In a first part, we show design and measurements of the active circuit. In a second part, we associate this circuit with a passive 2-pole bandpass filter synthesised with quasi-lumped elements in microstrip technology.
