AbstractThis paper presents the design of a single-ended input, differential output low noise amplifier for GPS applications in 0.18 µm CMOS technology. This Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is composed of a common source (CS) amplifier adopted with a common gate, common source (CGCS) balun load. Instead of spiral on-chip inductor, a differential active inductor circuit (DAI) is used as an active load of balun and also
This paper presents an Ultra-Wideband (UWB) 3-5 GHz Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) employing Chebyshev filter. The LNA has been designed using Cadence 0.18um CMOS technology. Proposed LNA achieves a minimum noise figure of 2.2dB, power gain of 9dB.The power consumption is 6.3mW from 1.8V power supply.
