Multi‐band pass negative group delay circuit with low insertion loss

Abstract

A novel multi‐band pass negative group delay circuit has been designed and proposed. The circuit consists of three types of components: capacitance, inductance, and resistance. An n‐order bandpass negative group delay circuit was analyzed and presented, and taking a three‐frequency bandpass negative group delay circuit as an example, the influence of different component values on the circuit group delay and insertion loss was analyzed. The actual test results of this circuit are consistent with the simulation results, and it can achieve the function of a multi‐bandpass circuit. In actual testing, the circuit frequencies with negative group delay are 49, 82, and 102 MHz, with corresponding group delay values of −2.177, −2.058, and −1.903 ns and corresponding insertion loss values of −5.810, −5.835, and −5.866 dB.
