Abstract:
An ultra-wideband low noise amplifier (UWB LNA) was presented. A Cascode-common base configured current reuse topology was employed, and the power consumption could be effectively reduced for direct current, while the gain of the circuit could be increased for alternating current, and simultaneously the current-reused topology kept the advantage of Cascode high reverse isolation. The spiral inductor of the output stage was replaced by active inductor and the die area of UWB LNA was reduced, and furthermore, the gain of UWB LNA could be tunable by adjusting the effective inductance of the active inductor. Based on Jazz 0.35 μm SiGe BiCMOS technology, UWB LNA was verified with radio frequency and microwave integrated circuits simulation tools ADS. Results show that the improved UWB LNA exhibits the following performance in the frequency range of 3.1~10.6 GHz: the gain is larger than 14.1 dB, the noise figure is lower than 4.0 dB, the input and output reflections are all less than -10 dB, the input third order intercept point is -11 dBm at the frequency of 7 GHz, and the power is 19.75 mW. ©, 2014, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
