Abstract: A fully differential, wide-band transconductance-transimpedence amplifier with a tuneable gain is disclosed. The amplifier includes a transconductance stage for generating a current signal from an inputted voltage signal. The amplifier also has a current gain stage for amplifying the current signal generated by the transconductance stage. Additionally, the amplifier includes as transimpedance stage for generating an output voltage signal from the amplified current signal generated in the current gain stage.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a fully differential non-op-amp based BJT biquad filter. The biquad filter comprises an unity gain follower receiving a positive and a negative differential input signals for generating a positive and a negative differential output signals. The biquad filter further includes a first positive feedback line connecting the positive output signal to the positive input signal and a second positive feedback line connecting the negative output signal to the negative input signal. The first positive feedback line includes a first capacitor connected in series therein and the second positive feedback line includes a second capacitor connected in series therein wherein the first and the second capacitors are of substantially equal capacitance. The unity gain follower further comprises a plurality of bipolar NPN devices and resistors connected between a common higher DC voltage and a common lower DC voltage through a constant DC current emitter.
