An active tunable filter circuit for use as an integratable active filter
in a mobile radio apparatus, comprises an active amplifier circuit (A)
including a reactive feedback network including a first tunable element
(L1) set to pass with amplification a wanted input signal, and a passive
resonant circuit (P) coupled to the active amplifier circuit and
including an inductive element (L.sub.FB, L3 or L4) and an inactive
semiconductor element (FET2, FET3 or FET4) having an interelectrode
capacitance which in operation resonates with the inductive element at a
harmonic of the wanted signal. In one configuration (FIG. 1) the circuit
comprises a band pass filter with amplification and in another
configuration (FIG. 6-not shown) the circuit comprises a harmonic notch
filter with amplification.
