Abstract
A combination low noise amplifier (LNA) and diversity switch (diversity LNA) is presented, allowing the switching between two spatially separated antennas to improve the received SNR in a multipath environment. This 60 GHz diversity LNA has a simulated gain of 14.3 dB and noise figure o f8.9 dB. It is suitable for diversity of reception implementation for a complete system-on-chip (SOC) in the 60 GHz band.
