Abstract :
This paper presents a new BiFET concurrent fully-integrated low noise amplifier (LNA) targeted to W-CDMA/WLAN IEEE 802.11a standards. The use of a concurrent topology enables saving important die area and power consumption compared to the parallel solution that employs two separated LNAs. A design methodology that helps selecting input/output matching network element values is also presented
