Abstract

In this paper, low noise amplifiers with coplanar waveguide structure are presented for Wireless LAN data communication application. For comparison of microwave performance, LNAs of cascode type and balanced type using cascode cell with the same substrate and same bias conditions are designed and implemented. A cascode type of LNA shows the gain of 12.45 ㏈, input return loss of 11.63 ㏈, and noise figure of 1.52㏈. A balanced type of LNA using cascode cell shows the gain of 6.58 ㏈, input return loss of 16.6 ㏈, and noise figure of 1.18 ㏈.
