A simple technique to improve the output resistance and the linearity of a source-degenerated differential CMOS transconductor is presented, useful even under low supply voltage. It combines the utilization of a super-transistor as a unity-gain buffer and the use of the weak inversion region to opti

## Abstract This article presents a novel application of the active inductor in the design of the lowโnoise amplifier (LNA). To reduce the silicon area consumed by the LNA without sacrificing its linearity, the passive sourceโdegenerated inductor in the conventional design is replaced with the acti
## Abstract This article presents a low flicker noise (1/__f__), doubleโbalanced Gilbertโcell mixer. As the down converted baseโband signal is strongly affected by the lowโfrequency flicker noise, resulting in mixer signalโnoise ratio (SNR) degradation, a dynamic current injection technique has bee
