A low voltage (1 V), low-power (100 mu W), and low-frequency (9 kHz) fifth-order fully integrated active low-pass filter (LPF) using a bipolar technology is described. Novel highly linear transconductors consisting of N emitter-coupled pairs were designed for low-voltage operation. The input range expanded to about 100 mV/sub p-p/ at 1% error with N=4, which twice that the conventional linearization technique. basically gyrator-capacitor type, in gyrators are implemented by linearized...
Laser phase noise conversion to intensity due fiber chromatic dispersion is analyzed by deriving the power spectral density. Theory predicts that phase-modulation-amplitude-modulation a principal limiting factor of gigabit-per-second nonregenerative transmission using an external modulator when linewidth laser transmitter above several tens megahertz and total fibers exceeds thousand picoseconds per nanometer. This fact confirmed 2.4-Gb/s experiments multiple inline Er-doped amplifiers. The...
