Why does unsymmetric signals come out of a symmetric circuit

[katrin]

I am doing simualtion on a completely symmetrical differential circuit-Gilbert mixer.

When the input signal power is too large, the out put signal would be distorted because of the large signal nonlinearity effect. But the way the signal is distorted seems to be unresonable, the signals become unsymmetrical.

Really confused, anyone has some idea on it?

I download the first part but is not able to open it.

For the second and third part, it shows I don't have enough points to download it.

Is it the book by Gray Meyer, I have this book in hand.

Which chapter do you refer to ?

Many thanks.

Your circuit is not symetrical around horisontal axis.
Probably biasing points are not well established, or input signal is high enough to make transistors not work in active region.

Hi
Can anyone please post the details of the book.

Thanks
