Abstract

In this paper low power high gain amplifier is suitable for application in low power systems was designed and fabricated. The amplifier used both subthreshold bias for low power and positive feedback Q-enhancement technique for high gain. The amplifier used TSCM $0.18{\mu}m$ RF CMOS technology measures a power gain of 32.3dB, a quality factor of 366 and a power consumption of 3mW in a supply voltage of 1.8V.
