Abstract :
A novel high gain and low noise amplifier topology is proposed. The proposed LNA topology is a current sharing two-stage cascade amplifier adopting a series inter-stage resonance. The performance of the proposed topology is compared with the existing high gain amplifiers, qualitatively and quantitatively. The simulation results at 2.4 GHz based on 0.35 μm CMOS technology are also provided. The proposed topology demonstrates excellence over the existing high gain topologies in gain and noise figure
