Design of a new RF BIST circuit for 5.25GHz low noise amplifiers

Abstract

This paper presents a new low-cost RF Built-In condition will be highly beneficial to rectification of RF signals. Self-Test (BIST) circuit for measuring input impedance, To reduce the output ripple voltage, ROT and C O ~ are chosen with eansducer voltage gain, noise figure, and input return loss of large values. 5.25GHz IOW noise amplifier (LNA). The BIST circuit is ............................................................................................. designed using 0.18pm SiGe technology. The test technique using BIST circuit utilizes input impedance matching and output transient voltage measurements. The technique is simple and inexpensive.
