Abstract

This paper presents the linearity improvement of differential CMOS low noise amplifier integrated circuit using 0.13um CMOS technology. In this study, inductively degenerated common source topology is adopted for wireless LAN application. The linearity of the single-ended LNA was improved by using differential structures with optimum biasing technique. This technique achieved better LNA and linearity performance compare with single-ended structure. Simulation was made by using the cadence spectre RF tool. Consuming 5.8mA current at 1.2V supply voltage, the designed LNA exhibits S21 gain of 18.56 dB, noise figure (NF) of 1.85 dB, S11 of −27.63 dB, S22 of -34.33 dB, S12 of −37.09 dB and IIP3 of -7.79 dBm.

Abstract

This paper presents the development of low noise amplifier integrated circuit using 130nm RFCMOS technology. The low noise amplifier function is to amplify extremely low noise amplifier without adding noise and preserving required signal to a noise ratio. A detailed methodology and analysis that leads to a low power LNA are being discussed throughout this paper. Inductively degenerated and Gm-boosted topology are used to design the circuit. Design specifications are focused for 802.11b/g/n IEEE Wireless LAN Standards with center frequency of 2.4 GHz. The best low noise amplifier provides a power gain (S21) of 19.841 dB with noise figure (NF) of 1.497 dB using the gm-boosted topology while the best low power amplifier drawing 4.19mW power from a 1.2V voltage supply using the inductively degenerated.
