Low-noise preamplifier with input and feedback transformers for low source resistance sensors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the design, schematics, and performances of a very-low-noise, low-frequency preamplifier. It operates in the 5 Hz-100 kHz range and offers an input equivalent voltage noise density as low as 65 pV/ ,/I%; the current noise increases with frequency and settles to about 1.5 pA/ @ at 100 kHz. The amplifier uses input and feedback signal transformers and operates in full differential mode; a 163 dB common-mode rejection ratio is achieved at line frequency. Design methodology is applicable to other ranges of frequencies.

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...
