    Bandpass Filters Feature Wide Tuning Ranges (.PDF Download)

    Bandpass Filters Feature Wide Tuning Ranges (.PDF Download)

    Classical LC filter design is becoming increasingly rare in much of the RF design community. This is in part due to the domination of direct-conversion in up- and down-converters along with the widespread availability of excellent off-the-shelf filter components, such as surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) filters. However, tunable bandpass filters are still required for many applications, whether for discrete designs or on-chip integrated-circuit (IC) designs. If insertion loss must be as low as possible, a peaked-response lowpass filter may be used in order to side-step the higher insertion loss of a true bandpass filter. If attenuation is required in both stopband regions, however, a bandpass filter is generally required.

    Bandpass filters (BPFs) have an inherently higher insertion loss than lowpass filters (LPFs) given similar design requirements. A first-order BPF can be designed for low passband insertion loss, but it will suffer from poor stopband attenuation roll-off and rounded passband shape. A second-order BPF can be designed to have appreciably faster stopband transition regions and a reasonably flat passband shape, but normally exhibits higher passband insertion loss than the first-order filter. Only the second-order filter design case will be considered here, whereas extensive details for the first-order filter design can be found in ref. 8.
