This article describes in detail the design of integrated linear group delay filters for analog signal processing (ASP) applications and their realization through constantresistance lattice and bridged-T networks. Unlike previously published works, our design method uses a recursive procedure as the basis for the synthesis of a suitable transfer function. Thanks to this method, filters with a more linear group delay characteristic and flat magnitude response can be obtained. Two filters are designed in a 0.13 µm BiCMOS technology to demonstrate the method: a balanced lattice with a negative slope, and an unbalanced bridged-T of positive slope.
