Abstract
The implications for RF circuit design of the nonlinear behaviour of a MOSFET transistor over all regions of operation, including moderate inversion region, is investigated. Analysis and measurements reveal a significant peaking, or "sweet-spot" of the third-order intercept point in the moderate inversion region. As a result, a significant increase in linearity at low power consumption is possible.
