Cognitive And Encrypted Communications: State Of The Art And A New Approach For Frequency-Agile Filters, Yahya Lakys, Balwant Godara, Alain Fabre Jan 2011

Cognitive And Encrypted Communications: State Of The Art And A New Approach For Frequency-Agile Filters, Yahya Lakys, Balwant Godara, Alain Fabre

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Several communication techniques are investigated in the first part of this paper: software radio, cognitive radio and encrypted communications. State of the art of research on agile and reconfigurable filters, passive as well as active, necessary for transceivers is then made and various tables for comparison are given. In the third part, a new theory for a 2^{nd}-order frequency-agile filter is introduced. The center frequency of the filter is proportional to the gain of a feedback amplifier and thus can be tuned over a wide frequency range. This new theory is thereafter generalized to the n^{th}-class leading to a center …


Design Of Cdba-Based Active Polyphase Filter For Low-If Receiver Applications, Mehmet Sağbaş Jan 2011

Design Of Cdba-Based Active Polyphase Filter For Low-If Receiver Applications, Mehmet Sağbaş

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A novel first-order active-RC polyphase filter section, using current differencing buffered amplifiers (CDBAs), is presented. The section uses 6 resistors, 2 capacitors, and 2 CDBAs. The transfer function of the proposed section has a single pole and optionally a single zero. Increasing the number of cascading sections, any higher order polyphase filter can be realized. This paper also introduces the leakage caused by element deviation and the effects of the amplifier in nonideal cases. Furthermore, nonideal performances of the proposed filter section are tested with PSpice simulations.


A New, Improved Cmos Realization Of Cdta And Its Filter Applications, Firat Kaçar, Hulusi̇ Hakan Kuntman Jan 2011

A New, Improved Cmos Realization Of Cdta And Its Filter Applications, Firat Kaçar, Hulusi̇ Hakan Kuntman

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper presents a high-performance current differencing transconductance amplifier (CDTA), a recently reported active element, especially suitable for analog signal processing applications. A high linearity CMOS configuration for a CDTA is made up of high linearity input and output stages. The proposed CDTA provides high output impedance at port X and excellent input/output current tracking. A biquad filter circuit was chosen as an application example in order to demonstrate the performance of the CDTA. PSpice simulation results using a TSMC 0.35-\mu m CMOS process model were included to verify the expected values.
