Abstract :
Sensitivity of a low noise amplifier (LNA) is a function of the noise figure, which in turn is dependant on the quality factors (Qs) of the passives used in the LNA circuit. High-Q embedded passives on organic substrates provide a viable alternative to using discrete elements or low-Q on-chip passives. This paper discusses an integrated LNA using embedded high-Q passives for Bluetooth applications.
