This study presents distortion analysis of the fully differential Gm-C filters in which the imbalance of the differential input voltages is taken into consideration. Closed-form equations expressing distortions of differential-mode (DM) output voltages as functions of DM and common-mode input voltages are developed. It was found that the HD3 of the DM output voltage is independent of the input imbalance. On the contrary, the HD2 of the DM output voltage is directly dependent upon the input imbalance. Simulation results are shown to be in good agreement with the analytical results. Since we are concerned with signals that are composed of several harmonic components, for clarity the phasor representation of each harmonic component will be www.ietdl.org
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.
