    This paper describes the design and realization of a programmable 4th-order, G<inf>m</inf>-C bandpass filter for biomedical applications. The core 2nd-order filter stage is realized by a simple gyrator-C active inductor structure with a single MOSFET as the transconductor element. The capacitive input attenuation technique is used to enhance the linearity of the filter. The proposed filter was designed and simulated with a 1-V power supply voltage with process parameters from a standard 0.18 µm CMOS technology. Post-layout simulation shows that the center frequency of the filter is adjustable from 80 Hz to 6.18 kHz by using a programmable bias current generator. At a nominal center frequency of 945 Hz and the quality factor of 3, the filter exhibits a dynamic range of 57.6 dB and an input-referred noise of 174.2 µV. The filter consumes only 6 nW from a 1-V single power supply voltage and the active area of the overall circuit is 0.088 mm<sup>2</sup>.

    A low-power CMOS RF power detector

    This paper describes the design and implementation of a low-power wide dynamic range radio-frequency (RF) power detector in a standard 0.18-μm CMOS process. The proposed circuit includes a root-mean-square (RMS) power detector and a logarithmic amplifier. The RMS power detector exploits the nonlinear characteristic of MOSFET to realize the RMS conversion. A current-mirror active load is used in the RMS power detector to increase the RMS conversion gain. Since the output of the RMS power detector is a DC voltage, the following logarithmic amplifier does not require wide operating bandwidth, thus allowing simple circuit realization with minimum power dissipation. Simple differential amplifier is used to realize the limiting gain stage. Post-layout simulation results showed that the proposed circuit was able to detect input power from -70 dBm to -20 dBm with signal frequencies ranging from 0.5 GHz to 5 GHz, while dissipating only 0.9 mW under a 1.8-V power supply voltage. © 2012 IEEE.
