  • Abstract
    Providing ESD protection for wideband RF CMOS LNAs is a challenging task: it requires both ESD and RF design skills in order to achieve high ESD robustness, while maintaining the overall RF performance. In this paper, an overview of the different wideband RF ESD protection strategies used in the literature is presented.
