Abstract
This letter presents a sub-6 GHz wideband low noise amplifier (LNA)
based on double L-type load network and negative feedback technique.
Using the cascode structure combined with the above techniques, a
single-stage wideband LNA with high gain and low noise figure (NF) can
be realized. Fabricated in 110-nm SOI CMOS technology, the proposed LNA
achieves a maximum power gain of 15.2 dB, noise figure (NF) of 1.0–1.56
dB. The 3-dB bandwidth ranges from 3.05–4.55 GHz. The minimum power
input at 1dB compression point (IP1dB) is -17.1 dBm. The LNA core area
is 0.18 mm2 and dissipates a total power of 11.5 mW from 1.4 V power
supply.
