The application relates to the technical field of tunable N-path filter, in particular to a tunable N-path reflection-free filter and a
superheterodyne receiver. The tunable N-path reflection-free filter comprises a
signal source, an N-path band-pass filter unit, an N-path band-stop filter unit, an output
resistor and a phase-splitting
clock generating circuit. The output end of the
signal source is connected with one end of the N-path band-pass filter unit and the N-path band-stop filter unit respectively, the other end of the N-path band-stop filter unit is connected with the output
resistor, the gate of a plurality of MOS switches in the N-path band-pass filter unit and the N-path band-stop filter unit is connected with the phase-splitting
clock generating circuit, and the phase-splitting
clock generating circuit outputs a
control signal. The tunable N-path reflection-free filter provided by the application has excellent
frequency selectivity, can effectively suppress high-order
harmonics, and can adjust the
passband and the
stopband by changing the
switching frequency. Meanwhile, the filter can eliminate the reflected
signal, prevent the
intermodulation interference and
gain fluctuation of the mixer and the high-
gain amplifier in the
system.
