Mixer-First Receiver Design Challenges
• Increasing switch FETs size improves linearity at the cost of power consumption.
• Increasing series resistance RM improves linearity at the cost of NF.
Linearity simulations are critical during the design phase for the
optimization of passive mixer-like circuits.
Out-of-band IIP3 is calculated using [Yang TCASI’15]. Power
consumption is calculated for an operating frequency of 1GHz.

Conclusion
• Digitally-driven foundries typically provide BSIM4 models that yield
unphysical results when simulating passive mixer-like circuits.
• A simplified surface potential model is introduced that does not require
measurements for model fitting, and leverages the foundry-provided
models for capturing second-order parasitics.
• The SSP model is more computationally relaxed than prior art, and
shows greater accuracy in simulating linearity of passive-mixer-like
circuits.
• The model is available at cosmic.ee.columbia.edu for download.
