文摘This paper presents a wideband low noise amplifier （LNA） for multi-standard radio applications. The low noise characteristic is achieved by the noise-canceling technique while the bandwidth is enhanced by gate- inductive-peaking technique. High-frequency noise performance is consequently improved by the flattened gain over the entire operating frequency band. Fabricated in 0.18 μm CMOS process, the LNA achieves 2.5 GHz of -3 dB bandwidth and 16 dB of gain. The gain variation is within 4-0.8 dB from 300 MHz to 2.2 GHz. The measured noise figure （NF） and average IIP3 are 3.4 dB and -2 dBm, respectively. The proposed LNA occupies 0.39 mm2 core chip area. Operating at 1.8 V, the LNA drains a current of 11.7 mA.
