Design and Performance Analysis Of Integrated Antenna With LNA For Air Bound Tracking

Abstract

A high gain and best matching antenna integrated low noise amplifier is designed using CMOS 65nm technology is reported. The purpose of designing a prototype for an integrated antenna with LNA is to provide the best receiving of data without path loss in air bound tracking and proceed throughout the receiver stage. A single stage cascode topology is adopted for LNA to achieve a higher gain in c-band applications generally. A quarter wave impedance transformer technique was used for microstrip antenna to achieve best matching. Combined with cascode topology an L-based tuning network is developed to achieve the band of frequency range. The designed LNA achieves the high power gain of 26dB and a constant noise figure of 1. 3db. The antenna achieved best matching of -44dB with a moderate gain of 4dB which is amplified by the proposed LNA.
