Abstract

In this paper, a wide-band CMOS low-noise amplifier (LNA) is presented, in which the thermal noise of the input MOSFET is canceled exploiting a noise-canceling technique. The LNA is designed under input/output impedance matching condition. And its noise figure (NF) and linearity analysis are investigated particularly. The LNA chip is implemented in a 0.25-mum 1P5M RF CMOS process. Measurement results show that in 50-860 MHz, the gain is about 13.4 dB, the NF is from 2.4 dB to 3.5 dB, and the input-referred third-order intercept point (IIP3) is 3.3 dBm. The chip consumes 30 mW at 2.5-V power supply and the core size is only 0.15 mm times 0.18 mm.
