Advanced Electrical Networks: Problem Set 5

This document provides a problem set involving the design and analysis of an active-RC bandpass filter. Students are asked to: 1. Design a second-order bandpass filter with a center frequency of 1 MHz and quality factor of 10, meeting gain and input resistor specifications. 2. Simulate the filter's frequency response and compare to the ideal response for different transconductor models. 3. Analyze the filter's third-order intermodulation distortion (IM3) through simulation and theoretical calculation. 4. Repeat the analysis with the transconductor's admittance scaled by a factor of two.

ADVANCED ELECTRICAL NETWORKS : PROBLEM SET 5

Due 20th April, 11.59pm


1 Problem 1
Design a second order active-RC bandpass lter with
f
o
= 1 MHz and quality factor of 10. The following spec-
ications must be met.
a. Gain at the resonant frequency should be 1.
b. The input resistor must be 100 K.
You can use an ideal VCVS of gain -1 for the
inverting stage. First assume ideal innite g
m
OTAs
and determine component values so that the lter is
scaled for dynamic range. Then replace the OTAs with
transconductors whose i-v relationship is of the form
i = g
m
v
x
(1)
(a) Use g
m
= 200S. Plot the frequency response of this
lter and compare it with the ideal response. What (if
anything) do you notice ? Why ? The graph must have
linear x-axis that ranges from 250 kHz and 1750 kHz.
The y-axis must be in dB.
(b) Tweak component values so that the desired
gain, Q and f
o
are achieved. Plot the frequency response
now and compare with the ideal.
(c) Now replace the transconductors with the fol-
lowing model
i = g

. Simu-
late IM3 with two input sinusoids with frequencies f
and f +10 kHz, each with amplitude 0.5 V. Sweep f from
500 kHz to 1500 kHz in steps of 100 kHz. Plot IM3 in dB
as a function of f.
(d) Now, use the method of current injection to
compute what IM3 you should expect. You can write
MNA and solve for responses as a function of frequency,
or hand calcuate them (!). Clearly explain the process
you used. Plot the results of the IM3 you computed and
compare with the simulation results you obtained in part
(c) above.
(e) Now repeat (a)-(d) above with OTAs admit-
tance scaled by factor of two so that
