A sub - 2 dB noise figure wideband LNA in 65 nm CMOS for mobile TV applications

Abstract

A novel broadband CMOS LNA based on the noise-canceling approach has been designed and implemented in 65 nm CMOS technology. The noise-canceling mechanisms used in this LNA allow the achievement of a noise figure as low as 1.6 dB to be feasible across the VHF/UHF bands without using any inductors. The LNA has a gain greater than 36 dB and consumes only 18 mW of power.
