چکیده
A 0.18 μm CMOS low noise amplifier using RCfeedback topology is proposed with optimized matching, gain, noise, linearity and area for UWB applications. The IC prototype achieved 9.5 dB of average power gain, low 3.4 dB noise figure (NF), -9.2 dB input match, -13.5 dB return loss, -6 dBm of IIP3 and only 0.54 mm size with 15 mW power consumption. Good agreement between the simulated and measured results is found.

متن کاملA New Ultra-Wideband Low Noise Amplifier With Continuous Gain Control
This paper presents a new variable gain low noise amplifier (VG-LNA) for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The proposed VG-LNA uses a common-source (CS) with a shunt-shunt active feedback as an input stage to realize input matching and partial noise cancelling. An output stage consists of a gain-boosted CS cascode and a gain control circuit that moves the high resonant frequency to higher freq...

Previously reported wideband CMOS low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) have difficulty in achieving both wideband input impedance matching and low noise performance at low power consumption and low supply voltage. We present a transformer noise-canceling wideband CMOS LNA based on a common-gate topology. The transformer, composed of the input and shunt-peaking inductors, partly cancels the noise origina...
