noise noise noise ......
this gain stage is just a differential amplifier with a resistor in place of current bias transistor. (if i use a current bias then noise figure is too big..)
I did pnoise analysis(using spectreRF).
In the noise report it is saying that the one of the input transistors is generating 85% of the noise and the other is generating only 5% of the total noise. this is looking very strange and confusing me.
can any one explain this?
can u send the schmatic , and just remark on it the transistors u r talking about
kouly
i have attached the schematic with this reply.
Added after 10 minutes:
i have added the schematic...
iam attaching the folded mixer and highlighing the main contributor for the noise.
this mainly flicker noise.
i have also attached the gain stage in the prevoius reply.
noise figure( mixer+gain stage) = 39db
noise figure(mixer) = 33db
if i dont use the transistor highlighted and using the ideal current source( from analogLib) then the results are as follows.
noise figure(mixer+gain stage) = 38db
noise figure(mixer) = 18db.
my spec for the noise figure is (including the gain stage ) is 17db.
i am facing a serious problem with this noise.
i desperately need some valuable suggestions in this regard.
THANK YOU.........
