Abstract :
In this paper, a new CMOS low noise amplifier (LNA) is designed using inductive interstage network for ultra- wideband (UWB) receiver in a standard TSMC 0.18 mum CMOS technology. The Spectre simulations show that the proposed UWB LNA achieves a flat 3-dB gain bandwidth of 4.7 GHz to 10.5 GHz, a power gain of 12 dB, a minimum noise figure of 3.9 dB and a total power dissipation of 7.2 mW from a 1.2 V power supply.
