Abstract
High frequency active and lumped passive components intended to be implemented in integrated CMOS electronic filters are considered in this chapter. Gradually eliminating the ones which are losing feasibility for a given reason, we come to the Gm-C technology and the operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) as its fundamental circuit element. Short analysis of the structure and the properties of modern CMOS transconductance amplifiers will be given. In order to enable effective simulations intended for verification of the designed filters, linear macromodels of the OTA will be developed. The noise properties of the OTA will be considered in Chap. 7, while nonlinearities are out of the scope of this book since corrective circuits are used (within the filters designed by our methods) which do not allow large signals to occur (if no overdrive is present).
