Abstract

An improved technique is presented for a differential pair operating as a single-ended to differential converter. Common source stages are used to compensate the output amplitude difference, and a resistor in series with a dummy transistor is in parallel with only one common source stage to compensate the output phase difference. The simulation results show that for the output differential signal, HD2 < -48.5 dBc, HD3 < -50.5 dBc, the amplitude difference < 4.5% and the absolute phase difference < 3deg with 0.18 mum-CMOS technology, over the frequency range from 1.6 GHz to 2.4 GHz. The simulation results agree with the improved technique well.
