Abstract

The low noise amplifier (LNA) serves as the first component of the radio frequency receiver system. The performance of LNA determines the sensitivity and selectivity of the receiver. In order to maximize performance the gain, noise figure and input matching of LNA needs to be optmized. This paper presents a 60GHz low noise amplifier on 0.13-µm standard CMOS technology designed using classical noise matching techniques. The simulation results show a power gain of 18dB and a noise figure of 5.5dB at 60GHz.
