Abstract:

A K-band (18–26.5 GHz) RF-MEMS-enabled reconfigurable and multifunctional dual-path LNA hybrid circuit (optimised for lowest/highest possible noise figure/linearity, resp.) is presented, together with its subcircuit parts. The two MEMS-switched low-NF (higher gain) and high-linearity (lower gain) LNA circuits (paths) present 16.0 dB/8.2 dB, 2.8 dB/4.9 dB and 15 dBm/20 dBm of small-signal gain, noise figure, and 1 dB compression point at 24 GHz, respectively. Compared with the two (fixed) LNA subcircuits used within this design, the MEMS-switched LNA circuit functions show minimum 0.6–1.3 dB higher NF together with similar values ofP1 dBat 18–25 GHz. The gain of one LNA circuit path is reduced by 25–30 dB when the MEMS switch and active circuitry used within in the same switching branch are switched off to select the other LNA path and minimise power consumption.

Abstract:

In order to analyze the interference mechanisms of indirect lightning effects on a low-noise amplifier (LNA), a circuit model of the LNA was constructed based on the advanced design system 2020 (ADS 2020) software. Lightning pulse injection simulations were conducted to explore the influence of lightning pulses on the performance of the LNA. A pin injection test was performed to investigate the interference and damage threshold of the LNA. A protective circuit incorporating the transient voltage suppressor (TVS) and Darlington structure was designed through simulation, employing the ADS 2020 for the LNA. The research findings reveal that the interference threshold for the LNA is 60 V, while the damage threshold is determined to be 100 V. The protective circuit demonstrates a measured insertion loss of 0.1 dB, a response time of 1.5 ns, and a peak output voltage of 20 V. The research results indicate that the protective circuit can effectively reduce the impact of lightning’s indirect effects on the LNA. In the future, we will continue the design work of the protective circuit and proceed with physical fabrication and experimental validation.

Abstract:

Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is the most important front-end block of the receiver. LNA’s Noise figure (NF) and Scattering Parameters affect the overall performance of the whole receiver circuit. Nowadays in the era of 5G technology, The quality of data that is being transmitted is increased. So there is a need for higher bandwidth to transfer data with higher speed. In such a case, communication blocks need an update. The research is carried out for the advancement of the LNA. The primary goal of LNA design is to lower the Noise Figure and return losses. The paper aims to design a 2.4 GHz LNA having a bandwidth of 400 MHz. The circuit is designed with the help of single-stub microstrip lines. We tried to keep the length of microstrip lines as minimum as possible. The transistor ATF-21170 Gallium Arsenide Field Effect Transistor (GaAs FET) is used in this work. The circuit is simulated in the Keysight Advance Design System (ADS). The amplifier is manually designed using standard methods. LNA is unconditionally stable for the frequency range of 2.2 GHz to 2.6 GHz. To build impedance matching circuits of the amplifier smith chart is used. It is observed that the LNA gain (S21) is greater than 15.3 dB, NF less than 1.2 dB, Input return loss (S11) is less than -13.3 dB, Output return loss (S22) is less than -17.1 dB over the 400 MHz bandwidth ranging from 2.2 to 2.6 GHz. This has, to the best of the authors' knowledge, not been presented in literature before.

Abstract:

Layout stitching is a repetitive and tedious task of the radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) design process. While academic research on layout splicing algorithms mainly focuses on analog and digital circuits, there is still a lack of well-developed algorithms for RFICs. An RFIC system usually has a symmetrical layout, such as transmitter and receiver components, low-noise amplifier (LNA), an SPDT switch, etc. This paper aims to address this gap by proposing an automated procedure for the layout of RFICs by relying on the basic device/PCell structure based on the interconnection among circuit topologies. This approach makes the in-series generation of layouts and automatic splicing based on circuit logic possible, resulting in superior stitching performance compared with related modules in Advanced Design System. To demonstrate the physical application possibilities, we implemented our algorithm on an LNA and a switch circuit.

Abstract:

This work presents a new design methodology for radio frequency (RF) integrated circuits based on a unified analysis of the scattering parameters of the circuit and the gm/ID ratio of the involved transistors. Since the scattering parameters of the circuits are parameterized by means of the physical characteristics of transistors, designers can optimize transistor size and biasing to comply with the circuit specifications given in terms of S-parameters. A complete design of a cascode low noise amplifier (LNA) in MOS 65 nm technology is taken as a case study in order to validate the approach. In addition, this methodology permits the identification of the best trade-off between the minimum noise figure and the maximum gain for the LNA in a very simple way.

Abstract:

To investigate the relationship between the specifications degradation of a low-noise amplifier (LNA) and temperature, we experimentally investigated the degradation characteristics of the specifications of the LNA at different temperatures. The small-signal gain (S21) of the LNA decreases with increasing temperature. This paper discusses and analyzes the experimental results in detail, and the reasons for the degradation of LNA specifications with temperature changes are known. Finally, we have tried to use the structure already available in the literature for the PA temperature compensation circuit for the temperature compensation of the LNA. The results show that the existing circuit structure for PA temperature compensation in the literature can also effectively compensate for the S21 and NF degradation of the LNA due to the temperature increase.

Abstract:

This paper presents a low power two-stage single-end (SE) 28 GHz low-noise amplifier (LNA) in 90 nm silicon-on-insulator (SOI) CMOS technology for 5G applications. In this design, the influence of bias circuit is discussed. The 1200 Ω resistor which was adopted in bias circuit can feed DC voltage as well as keep whole circuit unconditionally stable. The gate bias points are set to 0.55 V to make the circuit low-power and temperature-stable. Measurement results illustrated that the LNA achieved a maximum small signal gain of 18.1 dB and an average 3.1 dB noise figure (NF) in operating frequency band. Measured S11 was below −10 dB between 25 GHz and 29 GHz and reverse isolation S12 was below −25 dB throughout the band. It consumed only 4 mW by proper selection of bias point with core area of 0.16 mm2 without pads. The fabricated LNA has demonstrated a gain variation of 3 dB and a NF variation of 1.9 dB from −40 °C to 125 °C with power variation of 0.8 mW. It suggests that the proposed SOI CMOS LNA can be a promising candidate for 5G applications.

Abstract:

Low Voltage supplied radio-frequency (RF) CMOS devices by TSMC 0.18 micron process are used for the RF circuit designs of low noise amplifiers. Three components, low noise amplifiers (LNA), Class-E power amplifiers (PA), and LC oscillator simultaneously working at 6.0 to 18.0 GHz, are explored. The scenario combining two matched amplifiers, LNA and PA, and then amplifying the coupled signals from the oscillators is proven to be working. LNA usually runs prior to PA to suppress the noises, and thus the whole set functions like an integrated LNA, whose forward gain may be promoted as high as at least over 40 dB just as expected. At 6.0, 12.0 and 18.0 GHz, magnitudes of both S11 and S22 in the Smith Chart are deliberately tuned to approach to zero as shown. And Noise Figure determined to be 1.175 gives promising integrated circuit.

Abstract:

A high frequency CMOS variable gain low noise amplifier (VGLNA) constructed based on an inductive source degenerated LNA and a cascode current mirror is proposed. The 'variable' concept is to prevent the unwanted saturation phenomenon due to large input signal. A cascode current mirror cell which consumes minimal voltage headroom without sacrificing the accuracy of the circuit is proposed in the circuit. With a 0.18 m CMOS technology, this technique is applied on a VGLNA operating at 1.8 GHz for GSM band application. The simulation results reveal that the maximum gain is 17.29 dB with gain tuning range of 9.56 dB. The noise ¯gure (NF) is less than 0.92 dB with the power consumption of 9.34 mW at power supply of 1.8 V. Comparison with several same operating frequency LNA circuits published show that this work demonstrated among the lowest NF and highest IIP3 with compromise on the gain.

Abstract:

In this paper, an evolutionary computation-based optimal design of low power, high gain inductive source degenerated CMOS cascode low noise amplifier (LNA) circuit is presented for 2.4[Formula: see text]GHz frequency. The main challenge for the design of radio frequency (RF) LNAs at nanometer range is the thermal noise generated in the short-channel MOSFETs. The short-channel effects (SCEs), such as velocity saturation and channel-length modulation, are considered for the design of CMOS LNA. The evolutionary algorithm taken for this work is Moth-Flame Optimization (MFO) algorithm. MFO is utilized for the optimization of noise figure (NF) while satisfying all the other design performance parameters like gain, matching parameters at input/output, power dissipation, linearity, stability. Optimal values of the sizes of the transistors and other design parameters in designing the LNA circuit are also obtained from the MFO algorithm. The CMOS LNA circuit is designed by using MFO-based optimal design parameters in CADENCE software with a standard 0.18[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m CMOS process. The designed LNA shows a gain of 15.28[Formula: see text]dB, NF of 0.376[Formula: see text]dB, the power dissipation of 936[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]W and IIP3 of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dBm at 2.4[Formula: see text]GHz. The designed LNA achieves better trade-off which results in an FOM of 42.3[Formula: see text]mW[Formula: see text] and may be useful in the receiver module of IEEE 802.15.4 for WLAN applications.

LNA's design in radio frequency (R.F.) circuit requires the trade-off numerous imperative features' including gain, noise figure (N.F.), bandwidth, stability, sensitivity, power consumption, and complexity.

Abstract:

A fully integrated low noise amplifier (LNA) for wireless local area network (WLAN) application is presents. The circuit is fabricated in 0.18μm SiGe BiCMOS technology. For the low noise figure, a feedback path is introduced into the traditional inductively degenerated common emitter cascade LNA, which decreases the inductance for input impedance matching, therefore reduces the thermal noise caused by loss resistor. Impedance matching and noise matching are achieved at the same time. Measured results show that the resonance point of the output resonance network shifts from 2.4GHz to 2.8GHz, due to the parasitic effects at the output. At the frequency of 2.8GHz, the LNA achieves 2.2dB noise figure, 19.4dB power gain. The core circuit consumes only 13mW from a 1.8V supply and occupies less than 0.5mm2.

Abstract:

In this study, a dual-band low-noise amplifier (LNA) was implemented by applying a transformer-based neutralization technology to the W-band. Incorporating the neutralization technique was difficult owing to performance degradation in the W-band. However, circuit performance was enhanced thanks to the layout optimization of transformer-based neutralization networks, and the improved operation was confirmed in the W-band. The neutralization technique was implemented in four stages with a 0.1-μm gallium arsenide (GaAs) pseudomorphic high-electron-mobility-transistor monolithic microwave integrated circuit LNA. The LNA showed small signal gains of 20.3 dB and 21.7 dB and noise figures of 5.0 dB and 6.4 dB (at 84 GHz and 96 GHz, respectively) while consuming 46 mW from a 1-V supply.

Abstract:

This paper presents a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) low noise amplifier (LNA) that is compatible with n257 (26.5–29.5 GHz) and n258 (24.25–27.5 GHz) frequency bands for fifth-generation mobile communications system (5G) and millimeter-wave radar. The total circuit size of the LNA is 2.5 × 1.5 mm2. To guarantee a trade-off between noise figure (NF) and small signal gain, the transmission lines are connected to the source of gallium nitride (GaN)-on-SiC high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) by analyzing the nonlinear small signal equivalent circuit. A series of stability enhancement measures including source degeneration, an RC series network, and RF choke are put forward to enhance the stability of designed LNA. The designed GaN-based MMIC LNA adopts hybrid-matching networks (MNs) with co-design strategy to realize low NF and broadband characteristics across 5G n257 and n258 frequency band. Due to the different priorities of these hybrid-MNs, distinguished design strategies are employed to benefit small signal gain, input-output return loss, and NF performance. In order to meet the testing conditions of MMIC, an impeccable system for measuring small has been built to ensure the accuracy of the measured results. According to the measured results for small signal, the three-stage MMIC LNA has a linear gain of 18.2–20.3 dB and an NF of 2.5–3.1 dB with an input–output return loss better than 10 dB in the whole n257 and n258 frequency bands.

Abstract:

Wireless communication integration is related to many challenges such as reliability, quality of service, communication range, and energy consumption. As the overall performance of wireless sensor networks (WSN) will be improved if the capacity of each sensor node is optimized, several techniques are used to fine-tune the various circuits of each node. In recent works, the wake-up receiver nodes have been introduced to minimize latencies without increasing energy consumption. To overcome the sensitivity of wake-up receiver limitations, a design of a low-noise amplifier (LNA) with several design specifications is required. This article discusses the relevance of the wake-up receiver in WSN applications and provides a brief study of this component. An LNA design for WSN wake-up receiver applications is presented. The challenging task of the LNA design is to provide equitable trade-off performances such as noise figure, gain, power consumption, impedance matching, and linearity. The LNA circuit is designed for wireless personal area network (WLAN) standards utilizing RF-TSMC CMOS 0.18 μm. Two innovative techniques are applied to the LNA topology to improve its performance: forward body biasing is used to reduce power consumption by 11.43 mW, and substrate resistance is added to reduce noise by 1.8 dB. The developed LNA achieves a noise figure of 1.6 dB and a power gain of 21.7 dB at 5.2 GHz. At 0.6 V, the designed LNA dissipates 0.87 mW.

Abstract:

The EMP couples with electronic devices via cables, inducing electromagnetic damage effects. This paper elucidates the operational principles of a navigation receiver and simplifies the study by focusing on the radio frequency front-end module. Many PCI tests were conducted on its signal input port, yielding the damage threshold of the navigation receiver. An analysis of the output waveforms of the modules that incurred damage was also performed. Through infrared research, it was discovered that the damaged LNA experiences a rapid temperature rise to around 73°C during operation with applied power. The electromagnetic damage effect in the LNA primarily stems from internal MOS transistor short circuits. The BPF protects the subsequent circuit stages but is also susceptible to damage.

Abstract:

This paper presents two J-band amplifiers in different 0.13 μm SiGe technologies: a small signal amplifier (SSA) in a technology in which never before gain has been shown over 200 GHz; and a low noise amplifier (LNA) design for 230 GHz applications in an advanced SiGe HBT technology with higher fT/fmax, demonstrating the combination of high gain, low noise, and low power in a single amplifier. Both circuits consist of a four-stage pseudo-differential cascode topology. By employing series–series feedback at the single-stage level the small-signal gain is increased, enabling circuit operation at high-frequencies and with improved efficiency, while maintaining unconditional stability. The SSA was fabricated in a SiGe BiCMOS technology by Infineon with fT/fmax values of 250/360 GHz. It has measured 19.5 dB gain at 212 GHz with a 3 dB bandwidth of 21 GHz. It draws 65 mA from a 3.3 V supply. On the other hand, a LNA was designed in a SiGe BiCMOS technology by IHP with fT/fmaxof 300/450 GHz. The LNA has measured 22.5 dB gain at 233 GHz with a 3 dB bandwidth of 10 GHz and a simulated noise figure of 12.5 dB. The LNA draws only 17 mA from a 4 V supply. The design methodology, which led to these record results, is described in detail with the LNA as an example.

The circuit employs a CC-based approach to obtain wide-band input matching without the need for bulky inductances, allowing broadband performance with a very small area used. The NC technique is applied by subtracting the input transistor’s noise contribution to the output and achieves a noise figure (NF) reduction from 4.8 dB to 3.2 dB. The NC LNA is implemented in a UMC 65-nm CMOS process and occupies an area of only 160 × 80 μm2.

Abstract:

We present the linearization of an ultra-wideband low noise amplifier (UWB-LNA) operating from 2GHz to 11GHz through combining two linearization methods. The used linearization techniques are the combination of post-distortion cancellation and derivative-superposition linearization methods. The linearized UWB-LNA shows an improved linearity (IIP3) of +12dBm, a minimum noise figure (NFmin.) of 3.6dB, input and output insertion losses (S11 and S22) below -9dB over the entire working bandwidth, midband gain of 6dB at 5.8GHz, and overall circuit power consumption of 24mW supplied from a 1.5V voltage source. Both UWB-LNA and linearized UWB-LNA designs are verified and simulated with ADS2016.01 software using BSIM3v3 TSMC 180nm CMOS model files. In addition, the linearized UWB-LNA performance is compared with other recent state-of-the-art LNAs.

Abstract:

In this paper, we present MEMS-enhanced integrated package design which provides the capability to self-test and self-calibrate integrated circuit chips. We have developed a novel test technique where the test stimulus is generated by modulating the RF carrier signal with another signal mixed with additive white Gaussian noise. This novel test stimulus is provided as the input to the RF circuit and the peak-to-average ratio (PAR) is measured at the output. Simulations were carried out for fault-free and fault-induced circuit conditions, and their corresponding PARs were stored in the look-up table (LUT). Test simulations were performed and the results were compared with the look-up table to verify whether the device is fault-free. In faulty circuit conditions, calibration was performed using a tuning circuit made of MEMS switches. The entire validation of the design using the test technique and self-calibration of the RF circuit was automated using the calibration algorithm. This testing and self-calibration technique is exhaustive and efficient for present-day communication systems.

Abstract:

The implementation of a 0.38 V K-band low-power fully differential low-noise amplifier (LNA) in a 45 nm silicon-on-insulator (SOI) process is presented. The proposed architecture employs a two-stage approach with transformer-based interstage matching networks to minimize circuit area. The proposed LNA covers the frequency range from 20.3 to 24.1 GHz, it achieves a noise figure (NF) as low as 2.2 dB, and a gain of 12.9 dB, with a power consumption of 11.7 mW from a 0.38 V DC supply in a very compact area (0.15 mm2) excluding pads. Non-linearity simulations show the proposed circuit achieves a Po1dB of −7.3 dBm, and an OIP3 (Output Third Order Intercept) of 7 dBm. The transformers allow improved area use since they are simultaneously used as matching networks, RF chokes to bias the active devices, baluns at the input and output terminals to convert the single-ended signal into differential mode, and vice versa, and facilitates the interconnection with the upcoming stages. We used a state-of-the-art tool that generates the desired inductances to perform impedance matching for a given frequency and coupling factor value. A comparison with similar works proves the proposed LNA achieves a very low NF and the lowest power consumption reported in a differential circuit.
