<p>In this master degree work, a digital attenuator and a low noise amplifier (LNA) have been designed and integrated with the RF front-end receiver for IEEE 802.11b Wireless LAN standard. Firstly, the 4-bit digitally controlled attenuator has been designed with theattenuation range of 50 to 80 dB and reflection coefficient less than -25 dB. Next, the single stage wide band low noise amplifier with voltage gain larger than 14 dB and noise figure below 4 dB has been designed to operate at frequency 2.4 GHz. Finally, the integration with a down-conversion mixer has been done and evaluated its performance.</p><p>The attenuator and low noise amplifier desired in this thesis have been implemented using standard CMOS 0.35µm technology and validated by the simulation tools Cadence Spectre-RF.</p>
