Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) is becoming one of the most important factors that decide the life time of node chips, especially with the feature size declining.

The circuit level NBTI degeneration models are built for the key modules and the entire transceiver. It is shown that the phase noise of the VCO will be deteriorated, the current mismatch of the CP and the noise figure of the LNA will both be increased, and the sensitivity and the adjacent channel selectivity (ACS) will be depressed by NBTI.
