Design of an UWB CMOS Low Noise Amplifier with Series-peaking

The objective of this thesis is aimed at the design of low noise amplifier (LNA) for an ultra-wideband (UWB) receiver system using standard 0.18um CMOS process. A two amplified stage topology is proposed in the low noise amplifier. The first stage introduces inductively source degeneration and resistive-feedback, it can achieve wideband input impedance matching. The second stage introduces traditional CS configuration, it can improve the forward gain (S21). The second stage also used L-C section for output match. In order to improve the gain at high frequency, we introduces the series peaking between the first stage and second stage. The total power dissipation of the low noise amplifier is about 24.3mW at power supply 1.5 volt and the chip size is 1.283*1.008mm2. The simulated result shows that S11 is under -8dB, S22 is under -10dB, the forward gain S21 is 12.6dB~15.3dB at 3.1-10.6GHz, the reverse isolation S12 is under -30dB, and the noise figure is 3.24dB~4.84dB.
