Abstract :
This paper describes a sub 1.0 V low noise amplifier in a 0.35 /spl mu/m SOI (silicon on insulator) CMOS process. Active-body control enables a sub 1.0 V operation, and improves gain and the 1 dB-compression point. The gain of 7.0 dB, the NF of 3.6 dB and the input 1 dB-compression point of -4.5 dBm are obtained at 1.0 V and 1.9 GHz.
