Abstract
This paper proposes a very low power low noise amplifier (LNA) operating from 3.1 GHz to 8 GHz for OFDM- UWB systems. The LNA is intended to cover groups 1 and 3 while filtering out group 2, whose spectrum is shared with WLAN signals representing troublesome interference. By utilizing both nMOS and pMOS transistors to boost the transconductance, the LNA draws only 1.5 mA from a 1.5 V supply. The LNA IC has been realized in 0.18 mum CMOS technology from TSMC.
