چکیده
A 1.227 GHz low power single-ended input, differential output low noise amplifier (balun LNA) for GPS is proposed. A two stage structure with current-reused technique is adopted to achieve low power, low noise factor and high voltage gain simultaneously. The LNA is fabricated in 0.18 mm CMOS process, consuming only 2 mA current from a 1.8 V supply. The LNA is measured to exhibit a differential voltage gain of 30.4 dB and a noise figure of 1.8 dB.

A 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...
