Title: Circuit simulation of reciprocal mixing in RF receivers
Post by weber8722 on Nov 17^th, 2011, 7:48am

Hi, in a 1999 paper Ken Kundert mentions that simulating this really important effect was not yet possible that time using a real free-running VCO driving a mixer with interferer at the RF input. I wonder what is the situation now - 13 years later - in SpectreRF or ADS, or whatever? I checked that tran noise is correctly transfering the LO phase noise into the IF output but hbnoise still not :( :-?.
Has anybody information on this?
