Abstract (2. Language):
CMOS spiral inductors suffer from a number of drawbacks including a low Q factor, a low self- resonant
frequency, and a small and non-tunable inductance and require a large chip area. On the other hand active inductor offers
many unique advantages over their spiral counterparts including small chip area, large and tunable inductance and high
quality factor. These active inductors have been used successfully in many applications such as in radio frequency (RF)
front end integrated circuits, filters, and phase shifter and oscillator circuits. The effectiveness of these active inductors is
however affected by a number of limitation including small dynamic range, a high noise level and high power
consumption. High speed applications such as preamplifier of data transceiver require large bandwidth hence there is a
need for technique that achieve larger bandwidth without increased power consumption and design complexity. In this
paper, bandwidth extension techniques are used to extend the bandwidth of the bandpass filter. Active inductors are used
in the designing of the bandpass filter. A swing independent quality factor, called constant-Q active inductor is used as an
active element in the designing of the bandpass filter. Bandpass filter is implemented on both 0.5 μm and 0.35 μm CMOS
process. Comparisons are made between resistive compensation technique and inductive series peaking technique.
Simulation results shows that the bandwidth is improved by 72%.The operating frequency is also increases from 122.995
MHz to 194.276 MHz at 0.5 μm technology and operating frequency increases from 163.641 MHz to 259.189 MHz at 0.35
μm technology.
