High-frequency (around 10 GHz) filters are necessary for many applications, in anti-aliasing filters for high-speed data converters or optical communications. Modern SiGe technology allows implementing radio-frequency circuits up to about 100 GHz. At the lower frequencies around 10 GHz, the size of passive components is a concern, and inductorless designs are used. We present a topology for an

Multi-GHz lowpass filters are key components for many RF applications and are required for the implementation of integrated high-speed analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters and optical communication systems. In the last two decades, integrated filters in the Multi-GHz range have been implemented using III-V or SiGe technologies. In all cases in which the size of passive components is a concern, inductorless designs are preferred.
