High-<strong>Frequency</strong> Filter <strong>Circuit</strong>s<br />

Figure 9.12 How the filter is damped without diminishing image rejection.<br />

To start an oscillation,<br />

I sharp_opt = 2v T<br />

R E<br />

2<br />

g m<br />

= R E // R S<br />

Therefore, for oscillations to start, a current of<br />

Isharp_osc = 2vT (R E + R S )<br />

R E R S<br />

is required. The ratio of these two currents is then given by<br />

Isharp_osc<br />

Isharp_opt<br />

= 1 + R E<br />

R S<br />

Thus, if the source resistance is smaller than the tank resistance R E , then<br />

the tank can be safely tuned to provide infinite Q and still have ample damping.<br />

However, if the tank resistance is smaller than the source resistance, then even<br />

a small error in tuning the tank to infinite Q could result in oscillation, but<br />

this is usually not the case.<br />

9.5 Some Simple Image Rejection Formulas<br />

Image rejection with passband filters has already been discussed. The notch<br />

filter’s natural application is image rejection as well, so it is useful to develop
