Translational Circuits [A Circuit for All Seasons]
Behzad Razavi · IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine · 2016
Translational circuits are periodically driven, time-variant systems and encompass topologies such as ?commutated networks? and ?-path filters.? These systems cause frequency ?translation? (shift) of impedances and transfer functions, a useful property that has led to myriad new and interesting concepts in RF design. In this article, we study the operation principles of these circuits.
