Abstract :
This paper deals with the design of microwave analog biquadratic filters using voltage amplifiers. A prototype bandpass filter is monolithically integrated. The chip size is only 1.3 mm2 on GaAs substrate. The filter specifications are: 2Ghz central frequency and a 3dB bandwidth of 40 MHz. A comparison with the SiGe bipolar technology is represented. The circuit represents a building block suitable for use in the cascade realization of higher order filters.
