Design of a 5.7 GHz 0.18 µm CMOS Current-reused LNA for an 802.11a WLAN Receiver

This article presents the design, implementation and measurement of a 5.7 GHz CMOS LNA for an IEEE 802.11a WLAN receiver. The LNA, fabricated with the 0.18 µm 1P6M standard CMOS process, uses a current-reuse technology to increase linear gain and save ...
Due to the fast growing demand for broadband wireless communications, the operating frequency band is moving toward the 5 GHz U-NII band. The advantage of combining baseband and the RF front-end on one single chip for cost savings is strongly desired for highly integrated systems-on-chip (SoC) applications. Due to...
