A fully integrated 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS low noise amplifier for 2.4-GHz applications

Abstract

A low noise amplifier (LNA) with good linearity and low noise figure has been designed by 0.18/spl mu/m CMOS technology for 2.4GHz applications. The amplifier provides IIP3 of 11.8dBm and input -1dB compression point (CP) of -13.5dBm with a noise figure equal to 2.77dB, and has a forward gain of 4.5dB and power dissipation of 18mW using 1.8V supply.
