A low power, low voltage UWB low-noise amplifier using source degeneration technique

This paper presents a low-power (LP) and low-voltage (LV) ultra-wideband (UWB) low-noise amplifier (LNA) using source degeneration topology. A biasing metric for LV and LP is designed in deep-submicrometer CMOS technologies. Using this biasing metric with source degeneration and current reused technique LNA is analyzed for a low voltage 0.65V, low power of 0.80-mW. Measurement results show 11.942 -dB voltage gain, 03-5.5 GHz bandwidth, - <;2dB NF.
