Exploring the Hot-Carrier Effect on the Wireless Transceivers

Phase noise can be regarded as the most severe cause of performance degradation in the wireless communication systems. The hot-carriers (HCs), found in the CMOS synchronization circuits, are the high-energy charge carriers that degrade the MOSFET devices performance by increasing the threshold volta...
