Single-Supply Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp) is important to the applications on battery-powered equipments whereas MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is a type of integrated circuit device used in capturing operating signal in microwave frequency. This paper presents an optimization study of a Single-Supply Op-Amp and a MMIC LNA using Genetic Algorithm (GA). GA is proposed to optimize multiple input variables so as to achieve the required circuit design outputs. In Single-Supply Op-Amp, a single objective GA optimization study is conducted. Based on the single objective circuit design justification, GA is further investigated for its capability to deal with multiple design objectives in 5 GHz MMIC LNA. In this research, the Single-Supply Op-Amp design is synthesized via LTSpice whereas the MMIC LNA design is simulated through Agilent Advanced Design System (ADS). The optimization performance of GA for both single and multi-objective circuit designs is studied and the developed multi-objective GA optimizer is further compared with ADS built-in optimizers of Gradient and Quasi-Newton respectively. From the results, GA is shown to be capable in optimizing both single objective Op-Amp and multi-objective LNA.

This paper presents the development of low noise amplifier integrated circuit using 130nm RFCMOS technology. The low noise amplifier function is to amplify extremely low noise amplifier without adding noise and preserving required signal to a noise ratio. A detailed methodology and analysis that leads to a low power LNA are being discussed throughout this paper. Inductively degenerated and Gm-boosted topology are used to design the circuit. Design specifications are focused for 802.11b/g/n IEEE Wireless LAN Standards with center frequency of 2.4 GHz. The best low noise amplifier provides a power gain (S21) of 19.841 dB with noise figure (NF) of 1.497 dB using the gm-boosted topology while the best low power amplifier drawing 4.19mW power from a 1.2V voltage supply using the inductively degenerated.
