Linearized CMOS Darlington Feedback Amplifier for Wireless Communications

The Design of Linearized Power Amplifier for Wireless Communications

The interest in higher data rate systems is rising very quickly in the area of wireless communications. High data rates mean high Peak to Average Ratio, PAR. This imposes big challenge on the linearity requirement of Power Amplifiers, PAs. The simplest technique that has been used is backing off the PA. However, this leads to very inefficient performance. A lot of more complex techniques were s...

A 0.7 V Transformer-feedback CMOS Low-noise Amplifier for 5-GHz Wireless LAN

In this paper, we present a 0.7 V low-noise amplifier(LNA) using monolithic transformer feedback to neutralize the gate-drain overlap capacitance of a field-effect transistor(FET). It is a single-ended amplifier implemented in 0.18-μm CMOS technology designing for 5-GHz wireless local-area networks (LANs). This LNA achieves a simulated power gain of 10.84 dB, noise figure(NF) of 2.4 dB, and inp...
