  • Abstract
    Distortion associated with a three-terminal MOS parametric amplifier has been analyzed using Volterra series. A prototype design of an nMOS-based parametric amplifier with supporting circuits was integrated on a standard 0.13-μm CMOS technology. The measurement results and the theoretical characterization show a mean percentage error of 16% and 1.25% for second harmonic (A2) and third harmonic (A3), respectively.
