Survey on parameter optimization of mobile communication band low noise amplifier design

A comparative study on recent works on low noise amplifiers (LNAs) designed to be operated at mobile communication band is performed in this article. Here, specifications of different generations of mobile communication are listed, which are considered to classify recent works on LNAs. Even though gain and noise figure (NF) are the primary parameters of LNA; other parameters like power, linearity, bandwidth, and area also get importance. Due to this, optimization techniques handpicked for all those parameters are discussed. The inverse relation between gain and NF is exploited to achieve low noise and high gain together. While increasing the gain, power consumption is increased by drain current. Each LNA is found as good in terms of gain and other parameters to satisfy the requirements. The figure of merit is opted to find the performance of each LNA, and the comparison is performed. The best parameters reported in the comparison are 31.53 dB of gain, 0.7 dB of NF, 0.03 mw of power consumption, 18.14 dBm of third‐order input intercept point (IIP3), 24 GHz bandwidth and 0.0052 mm² of area at different frequencies and technology nodes. In this survey, as per the optimized FoM for mobile communication, cross‐coupled common gate differential LNA, which was designed to be operated at 0.3 to 2.96 GHz gives better results among CMOS LNAs.

A compact six port antenna for better spectrum utilization efficiency in cognitive radio applications

In this article, a novel six port antenna for better spectrum utilization efficiency in cognitive radio (CR) applications is presented. In this six port antenna system, an ultra‐wideband (UWB) sensing antenna and five wideband/narrowband (NB) antennas are integrated on the same substrate in a compact area of 1134 mm² . Antenna associated with port 1, which is meant for sensing, has ?10 dB reflection coefficient bandwidth of 3 to 11 GHz and the antennas associated with ports 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 have ?10 dB reflection coefficient bandwidths of 3.6 to 5.8 GHz (single band), 2.9 to 3.6 GHz and 5.4 to 7.98 GHz (dual band), 7.95 to 8.38 GHz and 9 to 9.85 GHz (dual band), 8.38 to 9 GHz (single band) and 9.7 to 10.7 GHz (single band), respectively. Minimum isolation of 20 dB is attained between UWB sensing antenna and any narrowband/wideband antenna except between the antennas associated with ports 1 and 2 where minimum isolation of 12 dB is achieved over the operating bandwidth of UWB sensing antenna. Moreover, among all wideband/narrowband antennas, isolation of less than 15 dB is achieved. More importantly, the narrowband and wideband antennas meant for communication cover all frequency bands in UWB and a good match between the simulated and measured results is noticed.
