A new numerical technique for time domain noise analysis of oscillators is proposed. This technique is based on the linear periodically time varying model, with an equivalent transformation of the linear system. This transformation produces a nonsingular matrix when the frequency offset is zero, which avoids numerical errors at small offset frequencies. Examples are given to demonstrate the effici...Show More

In small-area MOSFETs widely used in analog and RF circuit design, low-frequency (LF) noise behavior is increasingly dominated by single-electron effects. In this paper, the authors review the limitations of current compact noise models which do not model such single-electron effects. The authors present measurement results that illustrate typical LF noise behavior in small-area MOSFETs, and a mod...Show More

Generalized Linear Periodic Time-Varying Analysis for Noise Reduction in an Active Mixer
A simple linear periodic time-varying circuit model is proposed to rigorously analyze the noise behavior in an active mixer. This analysis can be shown to be a generalization of existing LPTV mixer models, which assume that the mixer is a memoryless device and, as a result, is valid for low frequency only. Based on the proposed LPTV circuit model, explicit formulas for noise figure that accounts f...Show More
Compact Large-Signal Shot-Noise Model for HBTs
Matthias Rudolph;Falk Korndorfer;Peter Heymann;Wolfgang Heinrich
A new description of the shot noise in HBTs is proposed that accounts for the correlation of the sources. It can easily be included in large-signal models, thus significantly improving the RF noise description. Common nonlinear bipolar transistor models thus far neglect the correlation, which deteriorates the model accuracy towards higher frequencies. It is shown that the collector delay in InGaP/...Show More
On Compact HBT RF Noise Modeling
2007 IEEE/MTT-S International Microwave Symposium
Year: 2007 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (9)
Accurate RF noise modeling of heterojunction bipolar transistors requires a proper model for the correlation of the shot-noise sources based on the respective time constant. This is incompatible with the present large-signal models, which, therefore, rely on non-correlated shot-noise sources and are not capable of predicting the RF noise with sufficient accuracy. In this paper, we propose a new co...Show More

Substrate noise is a major obstacle for single-chip integration of mixed-signal systems. To reduce this problem and to assess its evolution with CMOS technology scaling, the different mechanisms that generate substrate noise and their dependencies on different parameters need to be well understood. In this paper, we show that with downscaling of the technology, substrate noise due to supply coupli...Show More

Thermal noise represents a major limitation on the performance of most electronic circuits. It is particularly important in switched circuits, such as the switched-capacitor (SC) filters widely used in mixed-mode CMOS integrated circuits. In these circuits, switching introduces a boost in the power spectral density of the thermal noise due to aliasing. Unfortunately, even though the theory of nois...Show More
