A Novel Gain Boosting Technique for Design of Low Power Narrow-Band RFCMOS LNAs
Abstract
A novel gain boosting technique to increase the power gain of narrow-band RF low noise amplifiers is developed and verified. This technique is based on utilizing a negative resistance in the cascode configuration that is the most common configuration in designing LNAs. Using this technique, a LNA, called the negative resistance cascode LNA, was designed. The LNA operates at 7 GHz and consumes only 7.2 mW of power. It is shown that the negative …
