Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first standalone book that combines research into low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) with research into millimeter-wave circuits. In compiling this book, the authors have set two research objectives. The first is to bring together the research context behind millimeter-wave circuit operation and the theory of low-noise amplification. The second is to present new research in this multi-disciplinary field by dividing the common LNA configurations and typical specifications into subsystems, which are then optimized separately to suggest improvements in the current state-of-the-art designs. To achieve the second research objective, the state-of-the-art LNA configurations are discussed and the weaknesses of state-of the art configurations are considered, thus identifying research gaps. Such research gaps, among others, point towards optimization – at a systems and microelectronics level. Optimization topics include the influence of short wavelength, layout and crosstalk on LNA performance. Advanced fabrication technologies used to decrease the parasitics of passive and active devices are also explored, together with packaging technologies such as silicon-on-chip and silicon-on-package, which are proposed as alternatives to traditional IC implementation. This research outcome builds through innovation. Innovative ideas for LNA construction are explored, and alternative design methodologies are deployed, including LNA/antenna co-design or utilization of the electronic design automation in the research flow. The book also offers the authors’ proposal for streamlined automated LNA design flow, which focuses on LNA as a collection of highly optimized subsystems.

This book was released on 2023-10-11 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides comprehensive knowledge, aimed at practicing integrated circuit design engineer or researcher, to learn and design a low noise amplifier (LNA) for single and multiband applications. The content is structured in a way so that even a beginner can follow the design method easily. This book features the following characteristics: different types of LNA designs (with key building blocks) are discussed, and detailed analysis is given for each LNA design, which covers from the fundamental and principal knowledge to the justification of the design approach. Detailed design approaches are using 180 nm and 130nm CMOS technologies, purposely presented in this manner to give exposure to the design of LNA under different technologies. The LNAs in this book are designed for GSM, WCDMA and WLAN standards, but the same method can be used for other frequencies of operation. Comprehensive analyses on the extreme or corner condition effects are highlighted. Besides, detailed derivation of equations relating to the parameters of the LNA’s performance metrics help LNA designers in understanding how the performance metrics of the LNA can be optimized to meet the desired specification. Electromagnetic analyses using Sonnet, an electromagnetic tool able to replace the conventional post-layout simulation with resistance and capacitance parasitic extraction for more accurate frequency performance prediction are presented. The electromagnetic method is proposed to be used in the LNA design as it can accurately predict the LNA’s performance before tape-out for first-pass fabrication. MATLAB codes are provided to generate important S-parameters and noise figure values.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is about the design of a Ku-band two-stage low noise amplifier working at an operating frequency of 18 GHz. The specification of this low noise amplifier includes a gain, which is greater than 25dB and a low noise figure less than 1dB. The transistor used to design is ATF-36077 manufactured by Hewlett-Packard which is an ultra-low noise transistor providing a high and stable gain at the required frequency along with a low noise figure. The results obtained after running the simulations concluded that the two-stage low noise amplifier satisfactorily provided a power gain of about 24.7 dB and a low noise figure of about 0.68dB. As a result, cascading the two-stages consisting first stage as a minimum noise amplifier (MNA) and second stage as a maximum gain amplifier (MGA) helped us to achieve the specified requirements. The minimum noise amplifier stage helped us to reduce the noise at the input while the maximum gain amplifier stage helped us increase the gain. The matching networks at input and output terminals helped in achieving gain stability at the output. The schematic was implemented using the Agilent's Advanced Design System (ADS) software. The circuit simulation was carried out in the same software and the results were verified. The results were also verified using the hand calculations and MATLAB software. At the end, the final layout was designed and sketched.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Ku band multistage low noise amplifier also known as LNA was designed to operate at 16 GHz used mostly in radar applications. The LNA is required to provide a gain greater than 20dB and an overall noise figure of less than 2dB. NEC transistor NE321000, a heterojunction FET was selected for this design because it offered excellent gain and noise figure parameters at our required frequency. Simulations showed that the LNA provides a gain of 26 dB over a 10% bandwidth and a noise figure of 1.1dB. Thus, the LNA design met and exceeded our design requirements. It was determined by analysis that the first stage had to be designed as minimum noise and the other two stages as maximum gain to meet our overall noise and gain requirements. The input matching network, the output matching network and inter-stage matching networks were designed afterwards. The circuit schematic, layout and circuit test bench simulations were done using Agilent ADS. Stability, noise figure calculations and gain calculation were done manually as well as using ADS.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis explores the use of a 22-nm CMOS-SOI technology in the design of a two-stage amplifier which targets wide bandwidth, low noise and modest linearity in the 28 GHz band. A design methodology with a transformer-coupled, noise-matching interstage is presented for minimizing the noise factor of the two-stage amplifier. Furthermore, benefits of interstage noise matching are discussed. Next, a transistor layout for minimizing noise and maintaining sufficient electromigration reliability is described. It is followed by an analysis of transformer configurations and a transformer layout example is depicted. To verify the design methodology, two amplifier prototypes with noise-matching interstage were fabricated. Measurement shows that the first design achieves a peak gain of 20.7 dB and better-than-10-dB input and output return losses within a frequency range of 22.5 to 32.2 GHz. The lowest noise figure of 1.81 dB is achieved within the frequency range. Input IP3 of -13.4 dBm is achieved with the cost of 17.3 mW DC power consumption. When the bias at the back-gate is lowered from 2 V to 0.62 V, the power consumption is decreased to 5.6 mW and the peak gain drops down to 17.9 dB. Minimum noise figure increases from 1.81 to 2.13 dB and input IP3 drops to -14.4 dBm. The folded output stage in the second design improves the input IP3 to -6.7 dBm at the cost of 35 mW total power consumption. The peak gain of the second design is 20.1 dB, and the lowest noise figure of 1.73 dB within a frequency range of 23.8 to 32.4 GHz. Both designs occupy about 0.05 mm2 active area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project consists of a X-band three-stage Low noise amplifier (LNA). I used components from vendors like Murata, Mini-circuits, Anadigics and NEC to create and simulate the design. Agilent's ADS was used in the design simulation and completion.

Advancements and the end user requirements also influence these limits and pushing them to a new level. Thus, this LNA design serves as to meet that fast growing market and serve as a baseline for future projects. This project provides a solid base and practicable hands-on experience with industrial standard advanced tools. It also provides an overview of types of amplifiers, detailed design steps and types of matching techniques. Along with this, the analysis of various design factors effecting the performance of the final LNA such as VSWR, isolation and stabilization are also performed.

Download or read book Wideband Low Noise Amplifiers Exploiting Thermal Noise Cancellation written by Federico Bruccoleri and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-03-30 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs) are commonly used to amplify signals that are too weak for direct processing for example in radio or cable receivers. Traditionally, low noise amplifiers are implemented via tuned amplifiers, exploiting inductors and capacitors in resonating LC-circuits. This can render very low noise but only in a relatively narrow frequency band close to resonance. There is a clear trend to use more bandwidth for communication, both via cables (e.g. cable TV, internet) and wireless links (e.g. satellite links and Ultra Wideband Band). Hence wideband low-noise amplifier techniques are very much needed. Wideband Low Noise Amplifiers Exploiting Thermal Noise Cancellation explores techniques to realize wideband amplifiers, capable of impedance matching and still achieving a low noise figure well below 3dB. This can be achieved with a new noise cancelling technique as described in this book. By using this technique, the thermal noise of the input transistor of the LNA can be cancelled while the wanted signal is amplified! The book gives a detailed analysis of this technique and presents several new amplifier circuits. This book is directly relevant for IC designers and researchers working on integrated transceivers. Although the focus is on CMOS circuits, the techniques can just as well be applied to other IC technologies, e.g. bipolar and GaAs, and even in discrete component technologies.
