Design of low-power analog filters in WBAN receiver front-ends for hyper/hypothyroidism patients by Wang, Xiaoying

“…A figure-of-merit (FoM) was also introduced to compare the power efficiency and the linearity performance together with the noise performance. Last but not least, the conclusion is drawn in the end of this thesis with future work which may include the flipped-source-follower cell to deal with the trade-off between the noise performance and the in-band linearity.…”
