This book was released on 2013 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, telecommunication system requires high performance, low noise, low power and high linear RF circuits. Since the digital modulation design requires highly linear front end circuits, the linearity requirement of the LNA becomes more rigorous. Due to possible large interference signal tones at the receiver end along with the carrier, LNA is expected to provide high linearity, thus preventing the intermodulation tones created by the interference signal from corrupting the carrier signal. The research focuses on designing a LNA which achieves high linearity without sacrificing any of its specifications of gain and Noise Figure (NF). The project focused on designing a 5.5 GHz linear LNA using a standard UMC.18um technology. The LNA employed inductive source degeneration topology with on chip passive spiral inductor. Employing the body biasing technique with post distortion scheme not only achieve high linearity, but also minimizes the degradation of gain, noise figure and power consumption. The simulation results show that CMOS tech has the capability to achieve a 5.5 GHz LNA. The LNA draws a 10.8mw power on 1.8V power supply while achieve gain of 11.4dB IIP3 of 9.20dBm

This book was released on 1999-01-31 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highly Linear Integrated Wideband Amplifiers: Design and Analysis Techniques for Frequencies from Audio to RF deals with the complicated issues involved in the design of high-linearity integrated wideband amplifiers for different operating frequencies. The book demonstrates these principles using a number of high-performance designs. New topologies for high linearity are presented, as well as a novel method for estimating the intermodulation distortion of a wideband signal. One of the most exciting results presented is an enhanced feedback configuration called feedback boosting that is capable of very low distortion. Also important is a statistical method for relating the intermodulation distortion of a wideband signal to the total harmonic distortion (THD) of a single tone. The THD, as opposed to the intermodulation distortion of the wideband signal, is easy to measure and use as a design parameter. Three different applications where high linearity is needed are identified, namely audio power amplifiers, wideband IF amplifiers and RF power amplifiers. For these applications high-performance integrated amplifier designs using novel topologies are presented together with measurement results. The audio amplifiers are built in CMOS and are capable of driving 8Omega loudspeaker loads directly without using any external components. One of the designs can operate on a supply voltage down to 1.5V. Both bipolar and CMOS wideband IF amplifiers are built; they are fully differential and have linearity from DC to 20 MHz. Finally, an RF power amplifier is built in CMOS, without using inductors, in order to investigate what performance can be achieved without them. Highly Linear Integrated Wideband Amplifiers: Design and Analysis Techniques for Frequencies from Audio to RF is an excellent reference for researchers and designers of integrated amplifiers, and may be used as a text for advanced courses on the topic.

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.

Book excerpt: The CDMA standard operating over the wireless environment along with various other wireless standards places stringent specifications on the RF Front end. Due to possible large interference signal tones at the receiver end along with the carrier, the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is expected to provide high linearity, thus preventing the intermodulation tones created by the interference signal from corrupting the carrier signal. The research focuses on designing a novel LNA which achieves high linearity without sacrificing any of its specifications of gain and Noise Figure (NF). The novel LNA proposed achieves high linearity by canceling the IM3 tones in the main transistor in both magnitude and phase using the IM3 tones generated by an auxiliary transistor. Extensive Volterra series analysis using the harmonic input method has been performed to prove the concept of third harmonic cancellation and a design methodology has been proposed. The LNA has been designed to operate at 900MHz in TSMC 0.35um CMOS technology. The LNA has been experimentally verified for its functionality. Linearity is usually measured in terms of IIP3 and the LNA has an IIP3 of +21dBm, with a gain of 11 dB, NF of 3.1 dB and power consumption of 22.5 mW.

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 2013-03-09 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analog circuit design has grown in importance because so many circuits cannot be realized with digital techniques. Examples are receiver front-ends, particle detector circuits, etc. Actually, all circuits which require high precision, high speed and low power consumption need analog solutions. High precision also needs low noise. Much has been written already on low noise design and optimization for low noise. Very little is available however if the source is not resistive but capacitive or inductive as is the case with antennas or semiconductor detectors. This book provides design techniques for these types of optimization. This book is thus intended firstly for engineers on senior or graduate level who have already designed their first operational amplifiers and want to go further. It is especially for engineers who do not want just a circuit but the best circuit. Design techniques are given that lead to the best performance within a certain technology. Moreover, this is done for all important technologies such as bipolar, CMOS and BiCMOS. Secondly, this book is intended for engineers who want to understand what they are doing. The design techniques are intended to provide insight. In this way, the design techniques can easily be extended to other circuits as well. Also, the design techniques form a first step towards design automation. Thirdly, this book is intended for analog design engineers who want to become familiar with both bipolar and CMOS technologies and who want to learn more about which transistor to choose in BiCMOS.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent enthusiasm for the Internet of Objects as well as for satellite communications leads to the need for high-performance radio-frequency (RF) communication systems. In order to meet the constraints of the mass market, these systems must be compact and be as low power as possible. Beside, they are expected to address multiple communication standards and to adjust their performance to the environment, still in order to reduce the size and the power consumption. Currently, many works focus on the development of low-noise amplifiers (LNA), the most critical block of RF receivers. To address this purpose, the goal is to design multi-mode and multi-standard receivers. Hence, LNAs require design flows that can adapt to the different technologies and topologies in order to meet any given set of specifications. This thesis aims at the development of simple and accurate design methodologies for the implementation of low-noise amplifiers.The first proposed methodology is dedicated to the implementation of a LNA in COTS technology for spatial applications. This LNA offers a broadband matching to address several standards. It is designed to be part of an RF receiver for nano-satellites. Thus, the latter is first studied in order to determine the specifications based on the standards of the targeted applications.The second methodology is dedicated to the implementation of LNAs in CMOS technology for any kind of applications. This methodology is first illustrated with basic topologies and then applied to an highly linear inductorless LNA. The design methodology also enables a fair comparison between the topologies and also CMOS technologies, even the most advanced ones such as the 28 nm FDSOI.Finally, reconfigurability is added to the inductorless LNA, to address several standards while retaining the optimum sizing given by the previously introduced methodology. Indeed, the size and polarization of each transistor are digitally controlled in order to adjust the LNA's performance to a given standard. Furthermore, the study of N-path filters combined with the proposed LNA is explored to improve the linearity of the circuit.
