Thank you guys,
I have done input and output impedance matching in the test bench(below). I followed the suggestions given above and realised a gain of 7dB.

I found another discrepency wrt to the gain analysis for S21 and S31. My RFout1 and RFout2 ports should be equal...
Hello
I am designing a differential active balun at 28GHz frequency with pmos as load instead of resistors to increase the gain. After DC simulations I have gds = 17.83mS and a gain of 0dB.
The circuit has been matched at the input and output.
Are there methods to decrease the value of gds...
Hello Frankrose,
Sorry for not mentioning the frequency of operation. I am designing the Mixer at 2.4GHz. I will take all the points you have mentioned and work on designing a better mixer.
Thank you

Hello BigBoss,
Thank you for the ideas. I had a strong feeling about the inductors being too high. This is one way to increase the voltage conversion gain as seen in many IEEE papers.
As suggested I will try to use the tank circuit for the load. The reason I included resistor at the load is...
Hello Forum,
I am working on the design of a Gilbert Cell Mixer.
My Goals are:
1. Vdd should be 1V
2. Total current Idd approximately equal to 500µA-1mA
3. Voltage Conversion gain >= 6dB
I have achieved this with the circuit attached below.
With inductive degeneration at the source of Gain...
Hello Forum,
I am working on the design of a Gilbert Cell Mixer with reference to (https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/74fb/3b545a3bbb080ae460218e861d2bbd34dd1d.pdf)
My Goals are:
1. Vdd should be 1V
2. Total current Idd approximately equal to 500uA-1mA
3. Voltage Conversion gain >= 6dB
