In the paper, we confirmed improvement Noise figure of the entire RF front-end using spiral inductor with PGS(Patterned Ground Shield) and current bleeding techniques. LNA design is to achieve simultaneous noise and input matching. Spiral inductor in input circuit of LNA inserted PGS for betterment of Q-factor. we modeling inductor using EM simulator, so compared with inductor of TSMC 0.18um. We designed and simulation the optimum structure of PGS using Taguchi's method. We confirmed enhancement of noise figure at LNA after substituted for inductor with PGS. Mixer designed using current bleeding techniques for reduced noise. We designed LNA using inductor with PGS and Mixer using current bleeding techniques, so confirmed improvement of noise figure.

The linearization technique for low noise amplifier (LNA) has been implemented in standard $0.18-{\mu}m$ BiCMOS process. The MOS-BJT derivative superposition (MBDS) technique exploits a parallel LC tank in the emitter of bipolar transistor to reduce the second-order non-linear coefficient ($g_{m2}$) which limits the enhancement of linearity performance. Two feedback capacitances are used in parallel with the base-collector and gate-drain capacitances to adjust the phase of third-order non-linear coefficients of bipolar and MOS transistors to improve the linearity characteristics. The MBDS technique is also employed cascode configuration to further reduce the second-order nonlinear coefficient. The proposed LNA exhibits gain of 9.3 dB and noise figure (NF) of 2.3 dB at 2 GHz. The excellent IIP3 of 20 dBm and low-power power consumption of 5.14 mW at the power supply of 1 V are achieved. The input return loss ($S_{11}$) and output return loss ($S_{22}$) are kept below - 10 dB and -15 dB, respectively. The reverse isolation ($S_{12}$) is better than -50 dB.

The Ministry of Information-Communication assigned 18~19GHz frequency band for communication of cabins and platform to link between subway/train and it's station. In this paper, we propose wireless transmission devices which are 2 stage hybrid low noise amplifier of 18GHz band and mixer for 18GHz as well to apply for RF receiver. We designed LNA to be noise matched its 1st stage and gain matched for 2nd stage and mixer using $180^{\circ}$ hybrid coupler to suppress the spurious signal. The transistors of 18 GHz LNA and mixer are NE3210S01 of NEC and KMB-N51-1, respectively. As the result of simulation, we get 19.92dB gain and 2.06dB noise figure with LNA and 8.61dB conversion loss with mixer.

본 논문에서는 Noise Figure, IP3, Gain, power dissipation들을 최대한 고려하여 간단하면서도 훌륭한 성능을 보이는 PCS용 1.9 GHz CDMA Low Noise Amplifier를 설계하였다. 비록 본 논문에서는 특정한 트랜지스터를 이용하여 설계하였지만, 다른 트랜지스터를 사용하여 이러한 방법으로 설계하여도 무관할 것이다.

In this paper, a low noise amplifier (LNA) in receiver of Low Noise Block Down Converter (LNB) for direct broadcasting service (DBS) is implemented by using GaAs HEMT. The LNA is designed for operation between 10.7GHz-12.7GHz. The LNA consists of input, output matching circuits, DC-blocks and RF-chokes. Simulation result of the LNA shows that a noise figure is less than 1.4dB and a gain is greater than 9.2dB in the bandwidth of 10.7 to 12.7GHz with good flatness of 0.1dB.

IMT-2000 전 대역(1920∼2170MHz, BW=250MHz)에서 사용되는 중계기용 2단 저잡음 증폭기를 설계하였다. Ansoft사의 Serenade를 이용하여 첫째 단 PHEMT의 소스와 접지간 source lead의 인덕턴스 값을 최적화하여 기판 선고로 등가화하고, 첫째 단의 잡음 정합은 물론 각 단의 정합회로가 간단하도록 high pass 구조로 설계하였다. 바이어스 회로는 단일 능동회로로 구성하였고, 인가전압은 8V, 총 전류는 180mA이다. 이때, 첫째 단 PHEMT의 Vgs = -0.4V, Vds = 4V이고, 둘째 단 AH1의 Vds = 5V이다. 상업화가 가능하도록 설계 기준을 정하여 제작되었고, 측정 결과 이득은 20dB, NF는 1dB, 입력 VSWR은 1.14∼l.3dB, P1dB는 22.4dBm, gain flatness는 ±0.45dB로 상업용 저잡음 증폭기로 사용될 수 있다.

We have investigated the noise sensitivity of low noise amplifier (LNA) at different frequency. This noise sensitivity analysis provides insights about noise parameters and it is very beneficial for making appropriate design trade-offs. From this work, the circuit designer can choose the adequate noise parameters tolerances.
