  1. DESIGN OF CMOS MIXER By NAJEEMULLA BAIG
  2. MIXERI Design Optimizedfor NF Here schematic of mixer 1 is shown which is used to down-convert the actual Ll band carrier signal coming from LNA output after amplification to an intermediate frequency of 577MHz which is further down converted by mixer2 to further low value of 20MHz.This mixer is a double balanced Gilbert mixer, here transistor Ml width 798.269um(calculated) which is optimized to around 836um to get better NF, and this width is divided into 9 fingers. This modification improved the NF to value 8.84dB from 8.94dB.further I have did the simulation by taking the width twice calculated and this resulted in further improvement in NF to value of 7.66dB.But I have drawn the layout for the schematic with W=836um. Here inductors L L are used at gate of Ml and source of Ml,which 6' 11 improved the NF. 2
  3. For tuning 577MHz signal a RLC tuned circuit is used. Let L=10.9021mH We have Solving for C, gives 1 211 LC 1 4112Lf 2 = 6.981397pF Reducing noise in the RF port can be done in the same manner as the LNA (optimum sizing for M3, and careful choice of biasing) (W) 3 -798.269um, LEO.18um. 3

  8. Observation made: as LO bias increases NF decreases, but beyond some voltage NF increases drastically, which is shown in above table with VDD=2.2V. When LO bias is increased slightly from 2. IV to 2.15V NF raised to 14.56mdB from 8.954mdB. llP3 also degrades when LO voltage increased.
