Description
Summary:The following report presents the performance analysis of wideband low noise amplifier (LNA) design circuits utilizing 0.18]uin CMOS technology. The objective of this performed analysis of a LNA design that need achieve sufficiently large gain and low noise figure, compare the design with other design, and to verify the effect of parameter Rr and Ls to S-parameter. This LNA design was expected to achieve a peak power gain of 13.8 dB. Within the 3 dB bandwidth from 2.6 GHz to 6.6 GHz, the noise figure (NF) is in a range of 4.0 dB to 6.5 dB and the input reflection coefficient, Sn is below -13.0dB.The standard specification for LNA with bandwidth from 2.6GHz is ISDB. This usually used for digital audio and video broadcasting application. By using Cadence Virtuoso as an EDA tool as a simulation tool, the result are obtained. The simulation result had almost achieved the target and this analysis had performed successfully simulation.
