A design of current-mode continuous-time filters for low voltage and high frequency applications using complementary bipolar current mirror pairs is presented. The proposed current-mode filters consist of simple bipolar current mirrors and capacitors and are quite suitable for monolithic integration

Abstract
A technique is proposed for obtaining currentβmode filters based on current mirror arrays that operate as unity gain current amplifiers. These amplifiers by properly driving capacitors realize active lossless integrators which are the basic active elements for the derivation of filters according to the leapfrog method. Due to the fact that both the structure of the amplifiers and the adapted method for filter design are simple, the proposed technique is attractive for filter design and implementation. A design and the implementation of two thirdβorder lowβpass filters are presented. The array of the amplifiers has been implemented in a 0.8 Β΅m CMOS technology.
