Abstract
A wideband balun-LNA featuring common gate (CG) – common source (CS) noise cancelling, current reuse, and g0.8 GHz to 7.3 GHz that fulfills the requirements of sub-6 GHzm -boosting is presented. It covers frequency range from 5G new radio (NR) technology. The LNA provides balanced output for identical differential loads and employs forward body biasing for linearity improvement. The LNA has low sensitivity to supply voltage variations due to its symmetrical complementary design and efficient biasing. The mode of operation can be adjusted between high-performance (HP) and high-tolerance (HT) modes by changing the ratio of the currents flowing through CG and CS branches. Post-layout simulations in 22 nm FDSOI technology yields a minimum... (More)
A wideband balun-LNA featuring common gate (CG) – common source (CS) noise cancelling, current reuse, and g0.8 GHz to 7.3 GHz that fulfills the requirements of sub-6 GHzm -boosting is presented. It covers frequency range from 5G new radio (NR) technology. The LNA provides balanced output for identical differential loads and employs forward body biasing for linearity improvement. The LNA has low sensitivity to supply voltage variations due to its symmetrical complementary design and efficient biasing. The mode of operation can be adjusted between high-performance (HP) and high-tolerance (HT) modes by changing the ratio of the currents flowing through CG and CS branches. Post-layout simulations in 22 nm FDSOI technology yields a minimum noise figure of 2 dB in HP mode while IIP3 reaches -2.1 dBm inHT mode. The power consumption varies between 0.7 mW to 1.8 mW in different modes and the supply voltage is 0.85 V. (Less)
