Summary:The paper begins with a summary of core theory and equations that
are applicable to RF amplifier design. It will review considerations for
both discrete and RFIC implementation and especially consider low noise
RF amplifiers as these tend to require the greatest amount of amplifier
design effort in any wireless transceiver. Finally an example is covered
that deals with the design of a 900 MHz cellular LNA. Issues relating to
the RFIC design are covered but emphasis is placed on the board level
design including implementation on a low cost, FR4 type substrate
