Abstract :
In this paper a proposed CMOS LNA which fabricated with the 0.13um CMOS technology. The amplifier is optimized for Bluetooth applications operating in the 2.4-2.5 GHz band. The inductive degeneration topology used in the LNA provides low noise, high gain and a large IIP3. The LNA consists of two amplifying stages with on-chip inductors and capacitors. Simulation was made by using the Advanced Design System (ADS) software. The proposed LNA consuming 6.11mA current at 1.2V supply voltage, it exhibits a linear gain of 20.343 dB, noise figure of 1.98 dB, input return loss (S11) of -11.11 dB, S12 of -44.69 dB and an IIP3 of 5 dBm.
