Title
A Compact, ESD-Protected, SiGe BiCMOS LNA for Ultra-Wideband Applications
Abstract
Two 3.65-mW, ESD-protected, BiCMOS ultra-wideband low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) for operation up to 10 GHz are presented. These common-base LNAs achieve significant savings in die area over more widely used cascoded common-emitter LNAs because they do not use an LC input matching network. A design with a shunt peaked load achieves a high S21 (17-19 dB) and low noise figure (NF) (4-5 dB) across the b...
