Distortion Analysis in Analog Integrated Circuits
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reviews different techniques used in the literature to analyze distortion in analog integrated circuits. It concentrates on analytical techniques rather than on numerical techniques. Techniques such as Volterra series, harmonic injection method, and modeling of circuit non-linearities, are discussed with emphasis on the last two techniques. The theory behind each technique is explained, and they are compared together.

متن کاملHigh-Frequency Distortion Analysis of Analog Integrated Circuits
An approach is presented for the analysis of the nonlinear behavior of analog integrated circuits. The approach is based on a variant of the Volterra series approach for frequencydomain analysis of weakly nonlinear circuits with one input port, such as amplifiers, and with more than one input port, such as analog mixers and multipliers. By coupling numerical results with symbolic results, both ...
متن کاملEfficient per-nonlinearity distortion analysis for analog and RF circuits
An efficient distortion analysis methodology is presented for analog and RF circuits that utilizes linear-centric circuit models to generate individual distortion contributions due to each nonlinear component in a circuit. The per-nonlinearity distortion results are obtained via a straightforward postsimulation step that is simpler and more efficient than the Volterra series-based approaches an...
