Abstract
A low-voltage high-linear bipolar OTA and its application to IF bandpass filter for GSM cellular telephone are presented. The OTA consists of a low-voltage linear transconductor, a translinear current gain cell, and three current mirrors. The bandpass filter is composed of two cascaded identical second-order bandpass filters, which consist of a resistor, a capacitor, and a grounded simulated inductor realized with two OTA's and a grounded capacitor. SPICE simulations using an 8 GHz bipolar transistor-array parameter show that the OTA with a transconductance of 1 mS exhibits a linearity error of less than ${\pm}2%$ over an input voltage range of ${\pm}0.65\;V$ at supply voltages of ${\pm}2.0\;V$. Temperature coefficient of the transconductance is less than $-90ppm/^{\circ}C$. The bandpass filter has a center frequency of 85 MHz and Q-factor of 80. Temperature coefficient of the center frequency is less than $-182ppm/^{\circ}C$. The power dissipation of the filter is 128 mW.
