Abstract
We report on a 3V monolithic RF front end receiver at 2GHz for a mobile hand set terminal with a two stages LNA, a down converter in a cascode configuration and an output common drain stage. This receiver achieves a maximum conversion gain of 38dB and a minimum noise figure of 2.7dB. This performance was obtained with a low cost MESFET technology with a 0.5¿m gate length process.
