A low-power and high-gain fully integrated CMOS LNA

A high linearity and high gain Folded Cascode LNA for narrowband receiver applications

“…17. Table 2 gives the performance comparison of the proposed LNA with those reported in the literature [7,8,14,16,[19][20][21]. From Table 2 it may be noted that the proposed LNA achieves a gain of 14.6 dB, Noise Figure of 2.9 dB and IIP 3 of þ4.19 dBm at a power consumption of 3.8 mW.…”

“…Compared to [14], the proposed LNA adopts linearization techniques to increase the linearity. In [16], Cascode LNA is realized with lower NF and power consumption, but linearity is minimum compared to the proposed LNA. In [19,21], Cascode LNAs performance are analyzed for low power consumption by reducing the supply voltage to 0.6 V, rather than the performance metrics.…”

“…In [20], emphasize is given for reducing the NF and increasing Linearity with a trade-off with power consumption. However, the power consumption is higher compared to [8,16,19,21] at the cost of achieving high linearity. The increase in linearity will increase the power consumption [23].…”

“…To compute the first, second and third order response using Volterra Series, the system is excited using inputs ( ) are considered for first, second and third order components. Using(15) and(16) in(11), IIP 3 for the proposed LNA can be…”

A hybrid approach for the sensitivity analysis of integrated inductors

“…Among the several wireless communication systems blocks, voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) [5][6][7][8][9], low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) [10][11][12] and filters make extensive use of integrated inductors. LC-VCOs are fundamental blocks in today's communications systems, and they are responsible for carrier frequency synthesis to up-convert and down-convert signals.…”
