Abstract
A CMOS Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA) in TSMC 0.18μm technology is designed. The circuit is applied for IEEE 802.16e standard, mobile WiMAX. The used structure is based on differential pair with source-degeneration topology. Two VGA cells were cascaded in order to attend WiMAX requirements. The studied circuit provided a minimum gain of 4.87dB and a maximum gain of 40.19dB over more than 100MHz bandwidth. A noise figure less than 20dB is obtained. The VGA consumes approximately 10mW under ±0.75V power supply.
