A novel low-noise amplifier (LNA) suitable for COMPASS receiver applications is designed in SiGe-BiCMOS technology. Inductively degenerated technique and resistive feedback technique are employed to reduce the noise figure. With 1.8V power supply, the measured results achieve 17.23dB power gain and 2.58dB noise figure at 1.561GHz.

This paper presents a low power Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) using 0.18µm CMOS technology for ultra wide band (UWB) applications. gm boosting common gate (CG) LNA is designed to improve the noise performance.  For the reduction of on chip area, active inductor is employed at the input side of the designed LNA for input impedance matching. The proposed UWB LNA is designed using Advanced Design System (ADS) at UWB frequency of 3.1-10.6 GHz. Simulation results show that the gain of 10.74+ 0.01 dB, noise figure is 4.855 dB, input return loss <-13 dB and 12.5 mW power consumption.

A fully integrated low noise amplifier (LNA) for wireless local area network (WLAN) application is presents. The circuit is fabricated in 0.18μm SiGe BiCMOS technology. For the low noise figure, a feedback path is introduced into the traditional inductively degenerated common emitter cascade LNA, which decreases the inductance for input impedance matching, therefore reduces the thermal noise caused by loss resistor. Impedance matching and noise matching are achieved at the same time. Measured results show that the resonance point of the output resonance network shifts from 2.4GHz to 2.8GHz, due to the parasitic effects at the output. At the frequency of 2.8GHz, the LNA achieves 2.2dB noise figure, 19.4dB power gain. The core circuit consumes only 13mW from a 1.8V supply and occupies less than 0.5mm2.

A 1.575GHz SiGe HBT(heterojunction bipolar transistor) low-noise-amplifier(LNA) optimized for Global Positioning System(GPS) L1-band applications was presented. The designed LNA employed a common-emitter topology with inductive emitter degeneration to simultaneously achieve low noise figure and input impedance matching. A resistor-bias-feed circuit with a feedback resistor was designed for the LNA input transistor to improve the gain compression and linearity performance. The LNA was fabricated in a commercial 0.18µm SiGe BiCMOS process. The LNA achieves a noise figure of 1.1dB, a power gain of 19dB, a input 1dB compression point(P1dB) of -13dBm and a output third-order intercept point(OIP3) of +17dBm at a current consumption of 3.6mA from a 2.8V supply.
