  • Abstract
    A unified noise figure expression incorporating the thermal noise and flicker noise has been explicitly derived for active CMOS mixers. The analysis takes the subthreshold conductance into account by adopting the latest continuous noise model and the simplified MOSFET model. The effect of output resistance is examined towards switching pairs. And good agreement is obtained between simulations and measurements.
