Abstract
This chapter provides a theoretical overview of high-Q BPFs. These filters, which are based on current-driven passive mixers, are very suitable to attenuate out-of-band interferers that can corrupt the signals at the receiver’s Analog Front-end (AFE), specially by saturating the Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA). Due to their architecture and complexity, these filters are very linear and can be easily integrated in the receiver AFE die, avoiding the use of complex and expensive external filters.
