Hello,
I am currently occupied with a passive single-balanced mixer as
shown in Fig.1 . https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/6136273400_1358247145.jpg
After running PAC simulation at Cadence,according
to this paper :
"Analysis and Optimization of Current-Driven Passive Mixers in Narrowband Direct-Conversion Receivers",
the output or baseband voltage should not be affected by the size of the switches.
However,by changing the width of the switch transistors,for example from
5um to 50um I get these results :

Can anyone tell me why they are different and how the width of the switch transistors
affect the output voltage?FYI,the output load is a RC 10MHz filter.

Thank you in advance,
