  • Abstract
    Design of a self compensating process variation tolerant RF low noise amplifier (LNA) is described. A novel non-intrusive mixing technique is proposed which enables minimal intrusion negative feedback in RF circuits making them process variation tolerant. The proposed design technique provides 18% yield improvement over comparable conventional LNA under severe process variation.
