This paper analyzes and presents design equations for a new transformer-based matching network capable of simultaneously matching two different frequencies. This network is then used to realize a dual-band low-noise amplifier that is fabricated in a 0.13 m CMOS process and is capable of operating at 2.45 GHz and 6 GHz. The measured and noise figure for 2.45 GHz (6 GHz) is 9.4 dB (18.9 dB) and 2.8 dB (3.8 dB), respectively. The IIP3 is measured to be and at 2.45 GHz and 6 GHz, respectively. The power consumption of the system (excluding the buffer) is 2.79 mW from a 1.2 V supply and the total area is m m.Index Terms-CMOS, low-noise amplifier (LNA), multistandard, reconfigurable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
