چکیده

Currently, there are two demands in RF front-end design such as multi-standard application and low power consumption. However, it is difficult to satisfy these demands simultaneously. Therefore, two design techniques are explained in this paper, respectively. In this paper, two RF circuits, a variable gain LNA and low power folded RF frontend, are designed. At first, a variable gain LNA (VG-LNA) is designed to achieve a flexible gain control of LNA. The proposed VG-LNA is implemented in TSMC 0.18 um CMOS process. This is composed of two stage amplifier, and its gain is controlled by the shunt feedback loop made up of a gain control transistor (GCT) and a coupling capacitor in second stage. The channel resistance of GCT in the shunt feedback loop

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...
