A 5~6 GHz Wide-Band Fully Integrated CMOS Low Noise Amplifier
A fully integrated low noise amplifier (LNA) for Wi-Fi 6 (5 GHz) was designed and implemented in a 55 nm standard CMOS process. The design included a source-degenerate cascode amplifier, a balun and a gain switching cell. All inductors were realized on chip. A balun was adopted as the load to perform the single-to-differential conversion. In addition, in order to deal with different input power, the LNA had high gain and low gain mode. Measurement results indicated that the LNA achieved a maximum voltage gain of 202 dB when switched to high gain mode, and the corresponding minimum noise figure was 2.2 dB. In low gain mode, the gain was 15 dB, and the corresponding maximum input -1 dB compression point was -3.2 dBm. The chip occupies a core area of 0.28 mm2, and the static power consumption was 10.2 mW.
