Abstract :
A 0.65 V, 2.4 GHz, low noise amplifier (LNA) has been designed and simulated using Spectre simulator in a standard TSMC 0.18 mum CMOS technology. With low power and noise optimization techniques, the amplifier provides a gain of 27 dB, a noise figure of only 1.1 dB, power dissipation of 4.6 mW from a 0.65 V power supply. The proposed LNA achieves superior performance over conventional cascode topology and are confirmed by simulation results
