Abstract:

In this study an ultra-broad band, low-power, and high-gain CMOS Distributed Amplifier (CMOS-DA) utilizing a new gain-cell based on the inductively peaking cascaded structure is presented. It is created bycascading of inductively coupled common-source (CS) stage and Regulated Cascode Configuration (RGC).The proposed three-stage DA is simulated in 0.13 μm CMOS process. It achieves flat and high   of 26.5 ±0.4 dB over the frequencies range from DC up to 13 GHz 3-dB bandwidth, and it dissipates only 9.95 mW.The IIP3 is simulated and achieved -10 dBm at 6 GHz. Also, simulated input referred 1-dB compressionpoint at 6 GHz achieves the value of -20 dBm. Both input and output matches are better than -11 dB. Toobtain the low power and high gain requirements, the advantages of the bulk terminal are exploited in theproposed CMOS-DA. It adopts the method of forward body biasing in output MOS transistor to achievehigher transconductance and lower power consumption. Additionally, the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation isperformed to take into account the risks associated with various input parameters which they receive little orno consideration in simulating of designs utilizing ideal components. MC simulation predicts an estimate ofthe good accuracy performance of the proposed design under various conditions.

A Novel Low Voltage, Low Power and High Gain Operational Amplifier Using Negative Resistance and Self Cascode Transistors

In this work a low power, low voltage and high gain operational amplifier is proposed. For this purpose a negative resistance structure is used in parallel with output to improve the achievable gain. Because of using self cascode transistors in the output, the proposed structure remains approximately constant in a relatively large output voltage swing causing an invariable gain. To evaluate the...

A New Low-Voltage, Low-Power and High-Slew Rate CMOS Unity-Gain Buffer

Class-AB circuits, which are able to deal with currents several orders of magnitude larger than their quiescent current, are good candidates for low-power and high slew-rate analog design. This paper presents a novel topology of a class AB flipped voltage follower (FVF) that has better slew rate and the same power consumption as the conventional class-AB FVF buffer previously presented in liter...

Adjustable Gain Cascode Low Noise Amplifier

Tower mounted amplifiers (TMA) serve to lower the system noise figure (NF) in cellular base-stations. For performance reasons, the TMA is located as near to the receiving aerial as practical and has to be connected to the rest of the radio at the tower’s base by a long run of coaxial cable. The parameters critical to TMA performance are low NF for reasons of optimizing coverage area, high gain ...
