This paper discusses motivation and design of an offset mixer and investigates its optimum placement in loopback test setup for on-chip RF test. Based on this study, design and implementation of an offset mixer for on-chip RF testing of radio front ends is presented. The offset mixer is passive in nature reducing silicon area and power overheads. Mixer is implemented and the design aims for dual band operation i.e. Bluetooth & WLAN standards and high linearity. Post layout results indicate that the mixer has excellent noise figure of 5dB, low conversion loss of less than 5dB as well as high IP3 of 12.5 dBm. Proposed passive offset mixer with almost zero dc power consumption and minimal silicon area makes it best suitable for on chip RF test. Pre & post-layout simulation results obtained with Cadence Spectre RF are presented.

In this contribution, nonlinear synthesis techniques for microwave circuits are presented. Emphasis is made on their principles, implementation, and applications. Four main types of nonlinear circuit are considered: frequency mixers, oscillators, frequency dividers and frequency multipliers. The operation principles and their main characteristics are introduced, together with the most useful synthesis techniques. Approximate analytic techniques like Volterrra series and the describing funciton are presented, as well as design tools, based on harmonic balance, such as the auxiliary generator, for oscillator and frequency multipliers. Analyses of noise and stability are also carried out. The techniques are illustrated by means of simple but practical FET‐based circuits.

This article presents a broad overview of intermodulation distortion (IMD) in microwave and RF circuits and systems. It starts by putting IMD in the context of the linear and nonlinear perturbations of telecommunication systems, to then explain its physical origins and most common theoretical analysis methods and laboratory characterization setups. For that, several active device/system models and analytical and numerical techniques are addressed. Finally, the nonlinear distortion generation mechanisms present in typical microwave small‐signal amplifiers, high‐power amplifiers, and frequency converters are reviewed.
