This paper is about Low noise amplifier topologies based on 0.18µm CMOS technology. A common source stage with inductive degeneration, cascode stage and folded cascode stage is designed, simulated and the performance has been analyzed. The LNA’s are designed in 5GHz. The LNA of cascode stage of noise figure (NF) 2.044dB and power gain 4.347 is achieved. The simulations are done in cadence virtuoso spectre RF.

In this paper, a differential multi-band CMOS low noise amplifier (LNA) is proposed that is operated within a range of 1500–2700 MHz with input matching capacitor switching and gain flatness performance enhancement technique. Traditional multi-band LNAs have poor performances on gain flatness performance. Therefore, we propose a new multi-band LNA which obtain good gain flatness performance by integrating the characteristics of the transistor trans-conductance and LC resonant load. The new LNA can also achieve a tunable frequency at different matching capacitance conditions. The post-layout simulation results shows that the voltage gain is between 19.3 dB and 22.4 dB, the NF is less than 2.5 dB, and the 1-dB compression point is about -5.1 dBm. The LNA consumes 17.79 mW under 1.8 V supply voltage in TSMC 0.18-um RF CMOS process.

With rapid expansions of wireless communications, requirements for transceivers that support concurrent multiple services are continuously increasing and demanding design of a concurrent low-noise amplifier (LNA) with low noise figure (NF), high gain, and high linearity over a wide frequency range for various wireless applications. The proposed work focuses on a concurrent multi-band LNA that works at navigational frequencies, namely, of 1.2[Formula: see text]GHz and 1.5[Formula: see text]GHz, wireless communication frequencies, namely, of 2.45[Formula: see text]GHz and 3.3[Formula: see text]GHz, dedicated short range communication (DSRC) frequency of 5.8[Formula: see text]GHz for the vehicular communication applications. This circuit has a distinct input matching network which resonates at all desired five frequency bands and is achieved by adapting frequency transformation method. To accomplish simultaneous reception of the desired penta-band, the output matching is designed with simple LC matching network with the aid of load-pull methodology.
