CURRENT MODE TRANSCONDUCTANCE CAPACITANCE FILTER WITHIN A RADIO FREQUENCY DIGITAL TO ANALOG CONVERTER

Abstract:

A filter stage system, includes a continuous time baseband filter comprising a feedback loop that employs at least one first impedance node and at least one second impedance node, wherein the at least one first impedance node has a higher impedance than the at least one second impedance node, and wherein the at least one first impedance node provides a dominant pole and the at least one second impedance node provides a non-dominant pole, and wherein the continuous time baseband filter generates a filtered current, and a mirroring component mirrors the filtered current to an output.
