  • Abstract
    A single-ended low noise amplifier (LNA) implemented in a foundry 0.18 μm CMOS process is tested on a PC board using the chip-on-board technique. The measured S11 and S22 are less than -10 dB over 5.15-5.35 GHz, which is the lower subband of UNII and HIPERLAN/2 band. The measured noise figure is 2.0 dB and power gain is 15.5 dB at 5.15 GHz, while drawing 5.8 mA of current from a 1.8 V supply. The measured IIP2 is greater than 64 dBm. This extremely high IP2 is due to the tuned response of the LNA. The LNA is suitable for WLAN applications in the lower UNII and HIPERLAN/2 subband.
