Abstract

A design method of the differential N-path filter with sampling computation is proposed. It enables the scale of the whole filter to be reduced by approximately half for easier realization. On top of that, the proposed method offers the ability to eliminate the harmonic passbands of the clock frequency and an increase of harmonic rejection. By using the proposed method, previous work involving an 8-path filter can be reduced to 5-path. The proposed differential 5-path filter reduces the scale of the circuit and at the same time has the performance of a 10-path filter from previous work. An example of differential 7-path filter using the same proposed design method is also stated in comparison of the differential 5-path filter. The differential 7-path filter offers the ability to eliminate all the passbands below 10 times the clock frequency with a tradeoff of an increase in circuit scale.
