  • Abstract
    A low-noise amplifier (LNA) for ultra-wideband (UWB) is presented. The LNA, consisting of two gain stages in multiple feedback loops, achieves a flat power gain of a nominal 20 dB and a noise figure of 2.8-4.7 dB over the 3.1-10.6 GHz UWB band. Implemented in a 0.25 μm SiGe BiCMOS process, the amplifier occupies 0.34 mm2 and draws 11 mA from a 2.7 V supply.
