Abstract
In this paper, an intermodulation distortion analysis for active CMOS mixers based on Volterra series theory is presented. As an outcome of the analysis, a software tool that facilitates a fast optimization of the mixer´s linearity performance has been developed. Results from the tool confirm excellent match with those obtained by popular commercial SPICE-like simulators, whereas simulation time is lowered by an order of magnitude
