Integrated LNA Serves Base Station Needs Whitepaper
نویسنده
چکیده
As demand for wireless broadband grows, so does the importance of cellular base station (BTS) performance. The low noise amplifier (LNA) on the antenna tower is a key element in establishing BTS performance, affecting both the base station’s area of coverage and its tolerance of other nearby transmitters. Integrated LNAs with active bias regulators, such as Avago Technology’s MGA-63x family, provide the noise figure and linearity needed for outstanding BTS performance.

Nomadic Base Station (NBS): a Software Defined Radio (SDR) based Architecture for Capacity Enhancement in Mobile Communications Networks
Abstract-In this research work, the problem of congestion that leads to dropped calls at GSM cell sites and drastic reduction in network capacity is addressed. We designed a novel GSM base station architecture named Nomadic Base Station (NBS) which is based on Software Defined Radio (SDR) architecture and simulated the LNA for its receiver front-end. The NBS receiver LNA selects and amplifies G...

The low noise amplifier (LNA) serves as the first component of the radio frequency receiver system. The performance of LNA determines the sensitivity and selectivity of the receiver. In order to maximize performance the gain, noise figure and input matching of LNA needs to be optmized. This paper presents a 60GHz low noise amplifier on 0.13-μm standard CMOS technology designed using classical n...

Although many efforts have been exerted, implementation of fully integrated chip for TV tuner application is still a great challenge, to the standard of DVB-C (50M-860MHz) for example. Recent works on wideband LNA [1-2] based on off-chip balun have shown good performances, such as low NF, high linearity and excellent input matching. However, the off-chip balun adds extra cost, loss and much PCB...
