Actually the signal is 200MHz, it is a track amplifier for a time interleaved ADC. I made a mistake, i want unity closed loop gain until 200MHz. Capacitive load is to be optimized for noise but we started from 1pF. My process is a 0.18um CMOS . yes the load is like this (not necessarily a...
Hello,
I want to design an opamp that drives a capacitive load (1-2pF) with unity gain and i would like to get good linearity performance. I had some discussions with a friend and told me that as soon as my GBW should be relatively high (200MHz) in order to achieve good linearity it would be...
Hello,
I am new to analog design and i try to size my circuits in a structured manner. I have seen some curves here and there like gm/Id, ft*gm/Id and. Excuse me if am asking stupid question, but could you please tell me or give any references that explain the curves one should make to...
Hello everyone.
I have a question. I have a 0.18um CMOS model file compatible with LTspice, Cadence etc. Its extension is .l and contains models for all corners of the process. Thing is i want to build a VCO and i have electromagnetically simulated and extracted the inductor models in Momentum...
Hello everyone,
I have one question again. I want to ESD protect an RFIC and i have to make the 2 input diodes that are gonna be connected from the input to the VDD and ground respectively. In order to make them from MOSFETS I have connected togetgher the source,gate, bulk which constitute the...
Hello. I have simulated a spiral inductor in RF mode Momentum and i have a question regarding Q. I use 2 definitions/methods to calculate it, the one concerning the resonant frequency and the 3 dB bandwidth and the other with the imaginary over real part of the impedance. While the 2 methods...
Sorry for that.. They are ok. I don't know why they seem like that in this picture. Op point is ok actually. I think there is some other problem butno clue so far..
hello
i am trying to design an opamp for high linearity at high frequencies (100MHz) and i have used a folded cascode followed by a simple cascode at a unity gain feedback. At lower freqs the linearity is ok, but at higher frequencies it is horrible. Can you please tell me what can be possibly...
Hi! I am using LTspice and i noticed the No of parallel devices parameters. What does it offer exactly? Also are there any aspects of circuit performance that can be improved by using certain amounts of parallel devices?
Thank you in advance

Hey guys
I am designing a 180 hybrid (rat race) on 20Ghz. My choices are microstrip or CPW. Any ideas on what i should choose? Also any idea a about the effects on different dielectric thickneses? Any prior experience or references are welcom. Thank you in advance.

Hello i have designed a cascode opamp and i have one question. I use the 0.18um process and when i increase my channel length (starting from the minimum length) the maximum output gain occurs for a lower Vin. Do you have any ideas why that should happen? Shouldn't that occur for higher Vin...
Hello guys
I have a rookie question but i haven't managed to fully understand it so here it goes.. I want to transform a 50Ω source impedance to another impedance R+jX. At the end of the line there is a load impedance R-jX (the output is conjugate matched). this matching network consists of a...
High everybody
I am studying circuit noise behavior and i am a little confused. I read on Gray, Hurst et.al that the noise factor has a meaning only when the source inpedance is ohmic. But in Guillermo Gonzalez's Microwave transistor amplifiers in an Appendix, noise figure for a non ohmic source...
Hello!
I would like to know how to model the cable that connects the power supply to my rf board. There will be some inductance there and i would like to see if this will affect the circuit behavior. In my case the cable will be a twisted pair, but i would like to be able to model other cables...
