Abstract :
In this paper, a RF CMOS amplifier is designed on the basis of a novel negative impedance linearization technique with negative differential resistance (NDR) element. The simulation results show that the designed amplifier can achieve high gain accuracy, good linearity with improved efficiency, revealing that the proposed technique could find wider application in RF/Microwave circuits and systems.
