Summary:A new second-order all-pass filter with maximum achievable delay-bandwidth-product (DBW) is presented. The proposed circuit will be used as a wideband delay element in impulse radio ultra-wideband transceivers. Benefiting from a simple architecture, the proposed circuit achieves a 60 ps delay across a 10 GHz bandwidth, which is the largest delay ever reported over such a wide bandwidth. In addition, the most noticeable advantage of this delay circuit is the small variation of group delay across a wide frequency range, which means negligibly small phase distortion introduced by the circuit
