Title
A 4-6 GHz Single-Ended to Differential-Ended Low-Noise Amplifier for IEEE 802.11ax Wireless Applications with Inherent Complementary Distortion Cancellation
Abstract
With the emergence of the internet-of-things (IoT), many devices process data through the IEEE 802.11 wireless networks. To satisfy the increased data processing, the wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) networks must have sufficient capacity. IEEE 802.11 ax is formulated to provide higher data processing capabilities for IoT applications. The IEEE 802.11 ax receiver operating at 5 GHz must be able to withstand interference from nearby IoT applications. Hence, the low-noise amplifier (LNA) employed in such receivers must have a high input-referred third-order intercept point (IIP3). This paper aims to present a wideband LNA operating at 5 GHz with high IIP3 for modern IoT transceivers using IEEE 802.11 ax protocol. The LNA is designed and implemented in UMC 65 nm CMOS technology using the Cadence virtuoso design tool. The proposed LNA can provide a maximum gain of 17.64 dB while consuming 8.1 8 mW of power from a 1.2 V supply. It can be noted that the minimum noise figure (NF) achieved is 3.67 dB and the corresponding IIP3 is 9.44 dBm at 5 GHz from the pre-layout simulations.
