Naricissus,
It is a little hard to follow your append. It appears that you designed a polyphase filter for image rejection filter and there is less image rejection than you expected.
Questions/Comments:
1) Is the filter an active or a passive filter?
2) Did you perform corner analysis on the filter design? What does simulation predict the filter rejection is across process?
3) What process are you using and did you perform LPE simulation? Device sizes change when printed on a wafer due to various effects: resistors are sensitive to overetch, ... Ideally, you would perform LPE, layout parameter extraction, and use the actual device sizes for simulation.
4) Did you perform RCX and include the layout parasitics in your simulation? RCX, parasitic RC extraction, extracts the layout parasitics
NOTE: LPE is not the same as RCX, you need to account for both effects when designing
5) Do you have TEG data for the lot? If you skew the process based on the TEG data, are the results consistent with measurement? For example, if the the target for polysilicon sheet resistance is 20Ohms/sq and the measured value is 15Ohms/sq., scale the resistance values and re-simulate r_actual = (20/15)* r_target
Best Regards,
Sheldon
