  • Abstract
    A single-ended low noise amplifier in 65 nm CMOS for applications at 60 GHz is presented. Its measured gain and noise figure at the centre frequency of 57 GHz are 19.1 dB and 5.5 dB, respectively, and it provides wideband matching. Transistors in the design have an asymmetrically fingered layout which reduces parasitic capacitances while simultaneously allowing for higher channel current densities.
