An UWB (ultra wide band) low noise amplifier (LNA), which is designed with the HJTC's 0.18 mum CMOS process, is presented in this paper. Simulation results show a gain from 10 to 13.3 dB over a bandwidth range from 3 to 5 GHz. This LNA achieves a noise figure less than 5.5 dB and power dissipation less than 12.5 mW under a power supply of 1.8 V. The input/output return loss is higher than 9/14 dB.
