Distortion Analysis of MOS Track-and-Hold Sampling Mixers Using Time-Varying Volterra Series
نویسندگان
چکیده
A time-varying theory of Volterra series is developed and applied in the sampled-data domain to solve for harmonic and intermodulation distortion of a MOS-based track-and-hold sampling mixer with a nonzero fall-time LO waveform. Distortion due to sampling error is also calculated. These results, when combined with the continuous-time solution, quantify harmonic and intermodulation distortion of a track-and-hold type mixer completely. Closed-form solutions are obtained. As a practical consequence, it is shown that for certain fall-time, the distortion of track-and-hold mixers can be better than what would be predicted by a simple application of time-invariant Volterra series theory.
