Introduction • Unlike narrow-band systems mentioned above, ultra-wide-band (UWB) systems are an emerging wireless technology capable of transmitting data over a wide frequency band for short ranges with low power and even higher data rate. • The amplifier must meet several stringent requirements, such as broad-band input matching to minimize the return loss, sufficient gain to suppress the noise of a mixer, low noise figure (NF) to enhance receiver sensitivity, low power consumption to increase battery life, and small die area to reduce the cost.
Experimental Results Measured S-parameters.
Conclusion • A UWB CMOS LNA has been implemented in a 0.18- μm CMOS process. • Compared with other broad-band techniques, the presented LNA takes the advantages: less design complexity, low high-frequency noise, low power dissipation, and small size.
