Title: relation between overdrive and IM3, 1-dB compression:
Post by sabawat on Mar 20^th, 2010, 2:47am

hello....

i am designing an RF mixer in 180nm CMOS technology...

is there any relation between overdrive voltage and intercept point and 1-dB compression point in mixers?

if so..please explain to me or suggest any paper.

thank you all.....

Hi,

I recommend a paper called "intermodulation distortion in current commutating CMOS mixers" by M. Terrovitis and R. G. Meyer, JSSC, October 2000.

cheers,
Aaron
