Abstract :
A 2 GHz tuned RF front-end amplifier in CMOS has been designed. A symmetric cascode is used instead of the classical nonsymmetric cascode to improve linearity with preserved power consumption. Also, the symmetric solution allows the use of inductor pairs in transformer configuration to improve the gain of the circuit
