A CMOS low noise amplifier (LNA) is designed with output tunable over an ultra-wideband. A cascode configuration is employed in the circuit, with inductive source degeneration (ISD) and a three-section bandpass Chebyshev filter to achieve broadband input impedance matching. A source follower acts as the buffer stage for broadband output impedance matching. Signal output is band-tunable over the frequency range from 6 GHz to 10 GHz. The circuit is fabricated in a standard 0.18 μm CMOS process. Circuit performance achieves maximum power gain, S21, of 11.6 dB, the input return loss, S11, better than 9 dB, and the best noise figure of 4.2 dB. The circuit consumes power of 11.6 mW. |
