AbstractThis paper presents the design of an Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) Low Noise cascaded Amplifier (LNA) used for biomedical applications. The designed structure uses a technique which is based on the inductances minimization to reduce the LNA surface while maintaining low power consumption, low noise and high stability, linearity and gain. To prove its robustness, this technique was studied theoretically, optimized and validated through simulation using the CMOS 0.18 µm process. The LNA achieves a maximum band voltage gain of about 17.5 dB at [1-5] GHz frequency band, a minimum noise figure of 2 dB, IIP3 of + 1dBm and consumes only 13mW under a 2 V power supply. It is distinguished by its prominent figure of merit of 0.68.

The low power consumption devices are frequently focused in design and manufacturing wireless communication system. This paper gives a systematic design of a low noise amplifier for WLAN application aimed to obtain minimum noise figure. The simulation result shows that the noise figure is in the appreciable level (1.67 dB). The maximum gain is greater than 10 dB. These are the predominant requirements of an LNA. Also it posses good stability and the LNA design uses pHEMT for its appreciable noise performance.

In this paper, an ultra-wide band 0.18 μm CMOS common-gate low-noise amplifier (LNA) is presented. Designed in the ultra-wide band frequency range of 3.1–10.6 GHz, it uses a current-reused technique with modified input matching. This approach allowed obtaining a flat broadband gain of 12.75 ± 0.83 dB with an input reflection coefficient less than -5.5 dB, an output reflection coefficient less than -7 dB, and a noise figure less than 3.7 dB. Furthermore, the proposed low-power LNA consumes only 12.14 mW (excluding buffer) from a 1.2 V supply voltage.

Design and testing results of a single power supply wide-band low noise amplifier (LNA) based on low cost 0.5 ?m D-mode pHEMT process are presented. It is shown that the designed cascode LNA has operating frequency range up to 3.5 GHz, power gain above 15 dB, noise figure below 2.2 dB, output linearity above 17 dBm and power consumption less than 325 mW. Potential immunity of the LNA to total ionizing dose and destructive single event effects exceed 300 krad and 60 MeV?cm2/mg respectively.

The reliability and robustness of electronic sub-systems dedicated to control and communications in the aerospace sector is more than ever one of the key points for safety and security, essentially during landing operations. As aircraft manufacturers have to diversify their mean of communication system’s control (Full-Duplex and System), the reliability can be improved both by setting redundant remote networks, and also by using matched technologies for increased performances and robustness: the wide band-gap Gallium Nitride technology (GaN) newly developed fits perfectly to the requirements of systems such as Microwave Landing System (MLS) or Distance Measuring Equipments (DME) used during the final landing approach. Actually, GaN technology takes advantage of a natural immunity to electromagnetic perturbations, and is suitable for circuit design in the RF frequency band (up to 5 GHz for aircraft applications). The GaN based circuits are able to improve transceiver’s efficiency (and so the radio-link budget) thanks to their low noise figure (receiver) and high output power (transmitter), reducing digital bit error rate during the code demodulation. This point is crucial while electronic runs in an urban environment. Moreover, the next electronic systems developed for “composite aircraft” will be more exposed to high electric field and CEM problems in circuits. Furthermore, this GaN integrated technology allows a reduction of volume for transmitter’s sub-systems, and is easy to setup (aircraft maintenance): the risk of immobilisation during the aircraft exploitation will be reduced and his maintainability will be easier. Finally, this technology is also perfectly suited for ground navigation control systems such as radar. This work presents the challenge for civil and military future avionic systems by making use of GaN based technologies.

An Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is affective in deciding the chip size and in the implementation cost at Radio Frequency applications. The proposed LNA design with an active inductor is a different solution to trounce the habit of passive inductors to cut the chip area. Designed in 90-nm CMOS process, a voltage gain of 9dB to 15.5dB for a supply voltage of 0.9v to 1.8V with a smallest Noise Figure (NF) of 5.7dB is achieved by the LNA, with low power utilization and at 2.40 GHz, with 345um2 of chip area.
