Abstract

A method to track and control the resonance frequency of a band-pass filter provides a solution for the sensitivity limitations against temperature and process variations. A phase sensing module obtains the phase difference between the input and output and a negative feed-back control architecture can be used to tune the filter's resonance over the input RF frequency.
