The cmos opamp I designed has gain peaking at 11 Hz. why is this gain peaking occuring ? what should i do to get rid of the same ?
 

gain peaking

Gain peaking usually comes from complex poles or some poles & zeros are close together. So check the poles & zeros of your system.
 

Re: gain peaking ??

Have you looked at the loop gain transfer function of your system? If you have a low phase margin, you will get high-Q resonant poles near the crossover frequency. You can also see the effect of this as overshoot and ringing in the time-domain waveforms. Create a step change in one of your input variables and see if the output is overshooting and ringing. You should examine the poles and zeros (as paulux said) of the loop gain transfer function and make sure you have at least 45° of phase margin. More phase margin is better. Good luck with your design.

Best regards,
