Low power operation in RF CMOS circuits requiring low-distortion levels is often difficult to achieve due to the exponential relationship between drain current (IDS) and gate-to-source voltage (VGS) in subthreshold region.
Our contribution in this work is to offer very compact but still accurate expressions for predicting the third-order nonlinearities as function of the transistor operating point
