  2. Scope • Introduction • Wideband LNA • LNA Core and Noise Analysis • Final LNA Topology • Merged LNA and Mixer • Measurement and Simulation Results • Conclusion RFCS - MINT Program

  3. 1. Introduction • Why do we need wideband RF receivers? • Many number of wireless LAN standards in different frequency bands • Use for Software Defined Radio (SDR) with single flexible receiver • Less power consumption and chip area RFCS - MINT Program

  4. 2. Wideband LNA • Topologies • Resistive feedback LNA • Distributed amplifier LNA • Inductive source-degeneration common-source LNA (resistive feed back/LC-bandpass at the input) • Common-gate LNA • Noise Figure: F = 1 + γ/α RFCS - MINT Program

  5. 3. LNA Core and Noise Analysis • Cascode structure • Input impedance RFCS - MINT Program

  6. 3. LNA Core and Noise Analysis • Noise Analysis • Assumption that Thermal Noise is Main Noise Source • Input Power Matching Condition: RFCS - MINT Program

  7. 3. LNA Core and Noise Analysis • Noise Analysis • Noise Factor • Optimum Noise Factor for • For Rin=100 Ω, Rs=50 Ω, gm1=28.28 mS, gm3=8.28 RFCS - MINT Program

  8. 4. Final LNA Topology • M3 and M4 pMOS due to less Vth • M5 to M8 inductively degenerated for Output Current Noise Reduction RFCS - MINT Program

  9. 5. Merged LNA and Mixer • Less transistors in signal path • Lower non-linearities • Less power consumption RFCS - MINT Program

  10. 5. Merged LNA and Mixer • Final Noise Factor • For the design with I=0.7 mA, RL=350 Ω, A=0.25 mV (amplitude of single-ended LO signal) RFCS - MINT Program

  11. 6. Measurement and Simulation Results RFCS - MINT Program

  12. 7. Conclusion • Merged LNA and Mixer realized in 90 nm CMOS • Compact Size • Low Power Consumption • Suitable for multiband operation RFCS - MINT Program
