This paper proposes a low power capacitor cross-coupled 5.2 GHz band low noise amplifier(LNA) using the current-reused topology with the TSMC 0.18 μm CMOS process. The proposed 5.2 GHz band LNA uses a capacitor cross-coupled gm-boosting method for reducing current flow of circuit and a current-reused topology to decrease total power dissipation. The parallel LC networks are used to reduce size of spiral inductors. The simulation results show high gain of 17.4 dB and noise figure(NF) of 2.7 dB for 5.2 GHz.

“…The desired output in equation (1) The additional gain-boosting [15] stage using M2 and M3 is employed for higher conversion gain using extra voltage headroom. The conventional detector uses a single NMOS transistor [16].…”
“…The fundamental difference of the CG LNA is that the matching network is a parallel resonator, and therefore, its Q-value is lower than that of an IDCS stage [21]. For the CG stage shown in Figure 1(b), the gate-source voltage of M 1 is equal to input voltage signal, i.e.…”
SUMMARYThe design of a common-gate (CG) LNA for the wideband applications is discussed in this paper. The effect of the different components in matching network is analyzed in detail. The design of a wideband input matching and output signal current for the input stage is presented. In addition, the effect of the matching network on the linearity and noise of a CG stage is studied. A design example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented theory.
