摘要
The degrading effect of the circuit reactances on the maximum IIP3 in the conventional derivative superposition (DS) method is explained using the Volterra series analysis. The effect of the subthreshold biasing of one of the FETs in the DS method on NF is also explained. A modified DS method is proposed to increase the Maximum IIP3 at RE It was used in a 0.25mum Si CMOS LNA designed for cellular CDMA receivers. The LNA achieved +17.2dBm IIP3 with 15.5dB gain, 1.6dB NF and 9mA @ 2.6V power consumption.
