Design of the Input Matching Network of RF CMOS LNAs for Low-Power Operation
Abstract
Optimum design of input matching network of CMOS low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) for low-power applications is discussed in this paper. This is done through an investigation of the effect of four different matching methodologies on the gain of radio frequency CMOS LNAs by means of compact analytical expressions. It is demonstrated that methods that convert the MOSFET's input impedance to 50 $\Omega$ for power matching are more suitable for …
