    Abstract

    Modeling linear periodically time-varying circuits is challenging due to the presence of frequency translation. This work shows how a conversion matrix-based model can be used for mixer-first receivers with complex feedback in the presence of finite switch transitions. This model accurately predicts S11 below -10 dB for all tested transition times, in contrast with prior models, which are shown to be invalid with transitions beyond 2% of the clock period. As a design tool, this approach models gain, harmonic rejection ratio, and noise figure within 0.1 dB of simulation with switch transitions even at 5% of the clock period.
