Abstract :
A novel low-noise amplifier (LNA) designed for COMPASS receiver is proposed in this paper. Inductively degenerated technique and resistive feedback technique are utilized to decrease the noise figure. It not only lowers the noise figure, but also decreases the area of the chip. SiGe-BiCMOS process is used to design this LNA. With a supply voltage of 1.8V, the proposed LNA achieves an NF of 1.17 dB with good S parameters.
