A Fully-integrated 2.4/5.7 GHz Concurrent Dual-band 0.18 µm CMOS LNA for an 802.11 WLAN Direct Conversion Receiver

This article describes a 2.4/5.7 GHz concurrent dual-band CMOS LNA for 802.11 WLAN direct conversion receiver (DCR) applications using 0.18 mm technology. A fully-integrated dual-band LNA was designed, which simultaneously provides narrow-band gain and...
Fig. 1 IEEE 802.11 WLAN frequency allocations. t Due to the rapidly growing demand for broadband wireless communication, the operating frequency is moving toward the 5 GHz U-NII band. With a maximum data rate of 54 Mb/s, the IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN (WLAN) standard specifies 300 MHz allocation of...
