question on paper
Ideally, IP3 of double-balanced mixer is better than that of single-balanced without degeneration (since output of transconductance stage is linearly proportional to input). HOWEVER, in reality, there are hot-carrier related velocity saturation and mobility degradation that...
Re: IP3 in mixers
damn i don't have enough points to download it. I downloaded the 1st two chapters though - it's .rar file. How do I convert it into a pdf file so I can view it?
IP3 in mixers
I've been noticing that single-balanced MOS mixers have slightly better IP3 than double-balanced MOS mixers. Anyone have enlightenment as to why that's so?
question on this paper:
Linearity suffers from mobility degradation and Cgd.
I know that the double-balanced mixer has twice the # of transistors, but can someone elaborate a little more on how the double-balanced mixer will be more affected by mobility degradation and Cgd?
The paper is at...
Take a standard differential amplifier, or Mixer.
Usually, the RF input signal is injected into the source of the transconductance stage.
My question is, what negative effects will there be if the RF input signal is injected into the gates instead, and why?
Thanks!
Volterra Analysis
Do you know anyplace I can find an overview of Volterra analysis? Preferbly for Mixers, but doesn't have to be. I tried searching for papers, and while plenty 'uses' Volterra analysis, none of them actually give an "overview" of the Volterra series analysis.
Thanks!
A single balanced with a load resistor of 500 ohms at each transistor.
A double balanced with a load resistor of 500 ohms at each transistor.
What is the relation of the equivalent output resistance for the two? (same, or double has twice the output resistance?)
