Background
In recent decades, with the rapid development of emerging microwave technology, the design of high-performance on-chip passive devices based on standard silicon (Si) technology has received great attention from both domestic and foreign researchers. Several different new approaches for on-chip passive device implementation have been proposed in recent literature, such as antennas, baluns, slow-wave transmission lines and band-pass filters (BPFs). Microwave filters are indispensable devices for transmitting and receiving ends in modern communication systems, and are used for separating signals, allowing useful signals to pass through without attenuation as much as possible, and attenuating useless signals as much as possible to inhibit the passage of the useless signals. The design of on-chip band-pass filters (BPFs), such as CMOS, based on commercial silicon (Si) technology has gained widespread interest in recent years. The results show that the design of the filter is one of the most challenging tasks, and the trade-off needs to be made in terms of satisfying the noise, bandwidth, stopband attenuation, model size, etc. of the system.

The researchers of Yang Yang Yang et al published a paper entitled "Compact On-Chip Band Filter With Improved In-Band deflection and stop and Attenuation In 0.13-mum (Bi) -CMOS Technology" On IEEE ELECTRON DEVICE LETTERS, which proposed a center-tap based ring resonator and parallel capacitor loaded Bandpass Filter, | S In the frequency range of 28 GHz-42 GHz11The value of | is below-10 dB, and has two obvious resonance points, the design concept is novel, the on-chip MIM capacitor loading is ingeniously utilized, but the passband selectivity is poor, and the transmission zero point and the adjustability are not provided.
In order to obtain better performance of the Band Pass Filter (BPF), different design methods are applied to the design of the Band Pass Filter (BPF), such as: in different transmission line forms, using semi-lumped elements, combining active and passive elements, etc. The on-chip filter design has the advantages that compared with the traditional filter design, the silicon-based CMOS process has multiple metal layers and active elements which are easy to integrate with passive elements on a chip, and the like, so that greater freedom is provided for the on-chip filter design. Designers can take full advantage of silicon-based CMOS processes to improve the performance of on-chip filters.
