Analysis of tunable narrow-band recursive active MMIC filters for future adaptive on-chip radar receivers

A novel frequency tunable X-band MMIC filter design based on a balanced cascaded second order recursive active filter topology is presented together with simulation results. The simulated results indicate that this filter design can achieve a performance adequate for future advanced on-chip radar receivers.
