ABSTRACT:
In a tunable recursive filter implemented in a microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC), a second-order recursive filter included two first order filters, having first and second transmission lines, respectively, connected in parallel. An amplifying unit having a cascode amplifier is arranged in a forward path shared by the two first-order filters. A combiner receives an input signal and a first and second feedback signals fed back through the first and second transmission lines, respectively, and combines such signals to output a combined signal. The amplifying unit amplifies the combined signal and outputs an amplified signal. A divider divides the amplified signal from the amplifying unit, outputs a first portion of the divided signal, and feeds back a second and third portion of the divided signal through the first and second transmission lines.
