A low-power low-noise amplifier (LNA) utilized a resistive inverter configuration feedback amplifier to achieve the broadband input matching purposes. To achieve low power consumption and high gain, the proposed LNA utilizes a current-reused technique and a splitting-load inductive peaking technique of a resistive-feedback inverter for input matching.

Design of low power UWB LNA based on common source topology with current-reused technique

This paper presents two low power UWB LNAs with common source topology. The power reduction is achieved by the current-reused technique. The gain and noise enhancement of the proposed circuit is based on an output buffer which is used by a common source amplifier with shunt–shunt feedback. Chip1 is an adopted T-match input network of 50 Ω matching in the required band. Measurements show that the S₁₁ and S₂₂ are less than −10 dB, and the maximum amplifier gain S₂₁ gives 9.7 dB, and the noise figure is 4.2 dB, the IIP3 is −8.5 dBm, and the power consumption is 11 mW from 1.1 V supply voltage. The input matching of chip2 is adopted from a LC high pass filter and source degenerated inductor. The output buffer with the RC-feedback topology can improve the gain, increase the IIP3, restrain the noise, improve the noise figure and decrease the DC power dissipation. Measurements show 13.2 dB of power gain, 3.33 dB of noise figure, and the IIP3 is −3.3 dBm. It consumes 9.3 mW from 1.5 V supply voltage. These two chips are implemented in a 0.18 μm TSMC CMOS process.     

New implementation of high linear LNA using derivative superposition method

New implementation of a high linear low-noise amplifier (LNA) using the improved derivative superposition (DS) method is proposed. The input stage is formed by two transistors connected in parallel. One transistor is biased in the strong inversion region as usual and another one is biased in the moderate inversion region instead of the weak inversion region, thus allowing a feasible source degeneration inductance at the sources of the two transistors to achieve a good input impedance matching and low noise figure (NF) while keeping high third-order input intercept point (IIP3) improvement with the DS method. The new implementation has been used in a 0.18-μm CMOS high linear LNA. The measured results show that the LNA achieves +11.92 dBm IIP3 with 9.36 dB gain, 2.25 dB NF and 7.5 mA at 1.8 V power consumption.
