A multiple cascode flipped active inductor (MCASFAI) is proposed to determine the degrees of freedom in cascode flipped active inductor (CASFAI). The inductance value of CASFAI is dependent on negative transconductor in gyrator network. This finding is in contrast to the finding that has been reported in the literature, on the degrees of freedom in CASFAI. As the transconductance of negative transconductor increases, inductance decreases, and quality factor increases. The MCASFAI proposed in this study is designed to enhance both inductance and quality factor of CASFAIs. Analytical modelling is done to determine the design parameters that affect inductance and quality factor in CASFAI. Verification is done using Cadence Virtuoso in 180 nm process. Bandpass filter based on the proposed MCASFAI is designed to operate at 2.45 GHz centre frequency with a bandwidth of 80 MHz. The designed filter attains a dynamic range of 162 dB-Hz and figure of merit of 153 dB-HZ/mW, which is comparable to the bandpass filter designs reported in the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
