| Popis: | The effect of process and temperature variations are becoming more dominant with technology scaling, especially for RF circuits, wherein even the minute variability in FETs and passive devices have a significant impact on the overall circuit behavior. Due to stringent power and performance specification requirements in the latest Wireless/RF applications, reasonable compensation for the process, voltage and temperature variations, is even more critical. In this paper, the design of a 2.4GHz operated, ultra-low power CMOS down-converting active mixer fabricated in standard 180 nm RF CMOS technology has been presented. The mixer is based on double balanced Gilbert-cell resistor-loaded topology. The effects of process and temperature variations on the designed mixer have been investigated and various compensation techniques relevant to the current design have been analyzed. |
