Comparative analysis of CNTFET models through the design of a differential amplifier

In this paper we compare simulation results on a differential pair circuit using a CNTFET model, already proposed by us, with the result obtained using Stanford model. We study the case of differential pair with differential input and single ended output as core of a 50 GHz amplifier for mm waves band. We consider the case of a CNTFET having a single CNT tube with indices (19,0) and 25 nm long. For this circuit we present result for its main parameters: gain, input impedance, output impedance, noise and distortion. Since the Stanford model includes fixed capacitance, for comparison we applied the same capacitance on our model. Since this capacitances dominate the high frequency cut, results are not much different, except for the lack of noise modelling in the Stanford model.
