Paper Title
A Highly Linear Low Noise CMOS LNA For Wireless Communication Applications

Abstract
In this paper, the design of a highly linear wideband CMOS low-noise amplifier (LNA) for wireless communication applications ranging from 600 MHz to 3 GHz using 0.13-μm technology is described. Here, CMOS inverter based wideband LNA is used in this design. Input Impedance matching is achieved by using negative resistive feedback along with feed-forward topology. The proposed amplifier achieves wideband input matching with S11 of less than -10 dB for overall bandwidth range. The designed LNA demonstrates a 33--24dB voltage gain (S21), 1.6—1.9dB noise figure (NF) with IIP3 of +8.02dB. The design drains 13mA of current from 1.2v supply with power consumption of 15.6mW.
