摘要

This paper proposed a low noise amplifier that can offer high gain with minimum noise figure for radio astronomy and wireless applications at 0.1–4 GHz (L & S Band) of frequency band with center frequency of 1.4 GHz, where 2-stage cascode source degenerative topology is utilized with a feedback transistor for achieving proper input–output matching with better linearity. This LNA achieved excellent results when simulated in Cadence Virtuoso 0.18 µm CMOS technology with a forward gain (S21) of 28.67 dB, an Input Return Loss (S11) of -19.86 dB, Noise Figure (NF) of 1.12 dB, third-order Intercept (IIP3) of -20.36 dBm, and power consumption (PDC) of 3.19mW at 1.8 V of supply voltage.
