Abstract
A low-noise amplifier(LNA) using series RLC matching network and resistive feedback at 8 GHz is presented. Inductive degeneration is used for the input matching with which the proposed LNA shows quite a wide bandwidth in terms of $S_{21}$. An equivalent circuit model is deduced for input matching by conversion from parallel circuit to series resonant circuit. By exploiting the resistive feedback and series RLC input matching, fully integrated LNA achieves maximum $S_{21}$ of 8.5 dB(peak to -3 dB bandwidth is about 3.5 GHz) noise figure of 5.9 dB, and IIP3 of 1.6 dBm while consuming 7 mA from 1.2 V supply.
