Abstract :
Important aspects and simulation results related to the RF integrated circuit design of a single-ended low-noise amplifier (LNA) are presented and discussed. The simulated values for the power consumption, input-IP3 and noise figure (NF) are 10mW, 0.32dBm and 1.53dB, at the center frequency fc = 5.5GHz, respectively. An experimentally extensively verified design kit for a 0.25mum BiCMOS technology is used for all components and devices except for the inductors, which are assumed to be ideal. A well established CMOS LNA circuit topology was chosen, completely re-dimensioned and optimized to meet the desired design specifications for WLAN 802.11a
