“…One circuit using plain spiral inductors served as the reference circuit. The methodology used in designing this circuit is discussed in [12]. To verify the effects of lowering the inductor's series resistance on LNA performance, the reference circuit was implemented using octagonal spiral inductors.…”

In this paper, the effects of the structure of passive devices on the performance of LNA circuits are investigated. Using a 0.25 μ μ μ μm CMOS process, several LNA circuits employing the common-source topology with cascode configuration are designed, implemented, fabricated, and tested. The gain, isolation, and matching characteristics of LNA circuits implemented using different inductor and capacitor structures are characterized. Actual measurement results are compared and analyzed. From these results, recommendations on the suitable capacitor and inductor structures for LNA circuits are given.

This paper discusses the effects of the structure of inductors and capacitors on the performance of LNA circuits. Using a 0.25 μ μ μ μm CMOS process, several LNA circuits employing the common-source topology with cascode configuration are designed, implemented, fabricated, and tested. The gain, isolation, and matching characteristics of LNA circuits implemented using different inductor and capacitor structures are characterized. Actual measurement results are compared and analyzed. From data obtained, the use of spiral inductors with patterned ground shield and vertical parallel plate capacitors in implementing LNA circuits are recommended.
