Abstract :
Design considerations for a distributed amplifier as a low-noise front-end block are discussed. Noise analysis for the distributed amplifier with real transmission lines is shown in detail. The analysis for gain and noise figure is verified with simulation results from a 5-stage distributed amplifier implemented in a 0.18 μm CMOS process.
