5.2-GHz GaInP/GaAs HBT CASCODE LNA WITH 5.5 dB GAIN ENHANCEMENT USING INTER-STAGE LC MATCHING
نویسندگان
چکیده
A gain boosting method without noise-figure degradation by optimizing interstage matching in a cascode low-noise amplifier (LNA) with emitter-degeneration inductor is demonstrated at 5.2 GHz using 2m GaInP/GaAs HBT technology. A low-pass LC matching network is inserted in the interstage of a conventional cascode LNA with emitter-degeneration-inductor to enhance the gain with the same current consumption. The 2m GaInP/GaAs HBT LNA without interstage matching has 14-dB power gain and 2.37-dB noise figure at 5.2 GHz while the 2m GaInP/GaAs HBT LNA with interstage matching has 19.5-dB power gain and 2.22-dB noise figure at 5.2 GHz. The current consumption is 2.3 mA and voltage supply is 3.6 V. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This paper describes a high-gain CMOS low-noise amplifier (LNA) for 2.4/5.2-GHz WLAN applications. The cascode LNA uses an inductor at the common-gate transistor to increase its transconductance equivalently, and therefore it enhances the gain effectively with no additional power consumption. The LNA is matched concurrently at the two frequency bands, and the input/output matching networks are ...

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...
