  • Abstract
    A UWB low-power and low-noise amplifier is proposed. The UWB LNA achieves better than 14.5-dB gain with 10.8-mW power consumption. The measured minimum noise figure is 3.1 dB and lower than 5.4 dB in the desired band. This MMIC is implemented in a commercial 0.35-μm SiGe BiCMOS technology and occupies total chip size of only 0.74 mm2 including all testing pads.
