A 2.4 GHz Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) design, optimization and simulation is presented in this paper. The optimization tool available in ADS software is employed to obtain minimum noise figure (NF) and minimum power consumption for an inductive source degeneration LNA topology. A comparison between this approach and another available analytical method is performed and found a significant improvement in noise figure (optimized NF=0.823), and in power consumption (optimized value =8.6 mW).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
