A filter is defined as an electrical network, which passes or allows the unattenuated transmission of the electrical signal in a certain frequency range and stops or does not allow the transmission of the electrical signal outside this range. The term Chebyshev refers to a type of filter response, not a type of filter. Chebyshev filters are analog or digital filters with steeper attenuation than Butterworth filters and have passband ripple (type I) or stopband ripple (type II). Chebyshev filters have the property of minimizing the error between the idealized filter characteristic and the actual characteristic over the filter range. but with ripples in the bandwidth. This type of filter is named after Pafnuty Chebyshev because its mathematical characteristics are derived from Chebyshev polynomials. Type I Chebyshev filters are generally referred to as "Chebyshev filters", while Type II filters are generally referred to as "inverse Chebyshev filters".

Chebyshev filters have the property of minimizing the error between the idealized filter characteristic and the actual one in the range of the filter, but with ripples in the passband. As the ripple (bad) increases, the attenuation becomes sharper (good). The response of Chebyshev filters is based on minimizing the maximum error across the entire bandwidth, resulting in bandwidth ripples with equal amplitude. The greater the width allowed by the ripple , the steeper the transition is attenuated. Chebyshev filters are also called "equiripple" or "minimax" filters because of their characteristics. 

Vital signs detection based on direct and contactless conversion. Doppler radar is the great importance for long-term physiological monitoring. However, DC offset caused by interfering signals and circuit imbalances is a critical issue that often degrades the sensitivity of physiological data reception. A third-order switched capacitor (SC) low-pass filter (LPF) has been incorporated into the vital signs receiver to form a low-pass response. Clutter and out-of-band noise were rejected, greatly benefiting the detection of physiological parameters from a direct conversion radar without digital DC offset calibration. The noise generated by the Third Order SC Chebyshev LPF is currently due to the use of OTA. To suppress more noise of the amplifier contribute to the output.

Based on the studies, A novel Third order SC Chebyshev LPF implemented in a simple circuit with LNTA. It helps to minimize SNR and the power of a circuit should be reduced, since lower power result in lower current which would ultimately lead to a slower circuit. Therefore, a useful metric used in these cases is the power delay product (PDP) which can be used to characterize the overall performance of a system. The PDP can be improved at different levels at the device level, layout level, circuit level, architecture level.

Description

This work presents a Third order SC Cheybshev LPF in a single and short circuit for vital sign processing circuit. The vital sign processing circuit simulates dc elimination and out-of-band interference rejection. This filter (LPF) is used to reduce noise in the circuit. The proposed circuits possess high efficiency in terms of power and current consumption, which is due to the increased area requirement of the chip and noise caused by the use of the OTA in Chebyshev filter design. Moreover, the scheme for generating current output signals using amplifier meets this requirement. However, the noise of the amplifier contributes to the output. Based on the studies, A novel Third order SC Chebyshev LPF implemented in a simple circuit with LNTA. The leap-frog configuration of the LPF is employed to maximize stability and minimize PVT variations. To investigate the performance of the proposed design, Cadence Virtuoso simulations are used. The simulation results, based on the 45-nm CMOS process technology model, indicate that the proposed design have superior speed and power against other existing design. The proposed design is intended to minimize SNR as well as power consumption. Therefore, a useful metric used in these cases is the power delay product (PDP) which can be used to characterize the overall performance of a system. The PDP can be improved at different levels at the device level, layout level, circuit level, architecture level. The proposed design is suitable for vital sign processing circuits, especially for radar systems.
