Analysis and Optimization of Noise in Bipolar RF Harmonic Mixers

A noise analysis of bipolar harmonic mixers (BHM) used for direct-conversion receivers is presented in this paper. Analytical and simulated results for the transfer function of the mixer are presented. Simple analytical expressions describing noise contribution from all sources are derived. Estimation of flicker noise quite agrees with harmonic-balance simulation results. Based on the derived expressions, total time average noise power spectral density (PSD) at the output is compared with simulation results. For the recommended regions of operation, error is less than 20%. The overall BHM noise figure (NF) is calculated and optimized based on a simple extracted formula. Errors introduced by analysis remain within a 1.5-dB margin with respect to simulation results. The validity of analysis for high frequencies is justified. The effect of flicker noise coefficient on the overall mixer NF is compared for different available processes.

Design Guidelines for the Noise Optimization of a 0.18 μm CMOS Low-Noise Amplifier

This paper presents the design considerations for the noise optimization of fully integrated tuned low-noise amplifiers (LNA) based on the four noise parameters and two-port noise theory. Specifically, this paper provides the design guidelines for a 0.18 μm CMOS tuned LNA. These guidelines give a useful indication to the design tradeoffs associated with noise figure, power dissipation and gate overdrive voltage for the LNA designed using this technology. As a case study, a 10 GHz LNA has been designed using 0.18 μm CMOS technology for a wireless LAN application. The amplifier has a 2.4 dB noise figure with a −13 dBm third-order input intercept point, while drawing 5 mW from a 1.8 V power supply. The results show that the proposed theoretical contours of constant noise figure which relate the gate overdrive voltage and power dissipation can accurately predict the noise performance of a 0.18 μm CMOS LNA design Ahmed A.
