In this paper, an active triple band-notched filter with improved quality factor (Q-factor) in 0.18-mu m CMOS technology are presented. Due to the FCC\'s stringent power-emission limitation at the transmitter, the received signal power in the UWB system is smaller than those in IEEE 802.11 a/b/g wireless local area network (WLAN), and the worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX). To avoid the interferences such as the WLAN and WiMAX signals in the UWB passband simultaneously, the proposed band-notched filter can be adopted to eliminate these interferences. Two techniques are introduced to enhance the ability of outband rejection. A cascode-grounded active inductor circuit topology is employed, which is composed of a feedback resistor to improve the quality factor (Q-factor) of the active band-notched filter. With an extra parallel capacitor, the rejection of notch band also is improved obviously. The measured 23/24/31 dB maximum rejections at 2.4/3.5/4.9 GHz while consuming a dc power of 13.5 mW at 1.8-V power supply.

In this paper, a novel temperature-insensitive gyrator is proposed with a temperature-compensated technique. The proposed gyrator-based active inductor composed of two back-to-back transconductors with a complementary technique are realized in triple-well 0.18-mu m CMOS technology. The complementary circuit topology is adopted to decrease the variation caused by temperature effect on the tranceconductance of the gyrator. Based on the temperature-compensated gyrator, the measured resonate frequency variation of the proposed gyrator-based active LC-tank circuit topology is less than 1% from 8.72% when the temperature varies from -20 to +60 degree centigrade (C-0). The value of frequency variation percentage over per degree centigrade is simply 0.012 which presents a lowest frequency variation than the traditional gyrator topology.
