[ 1 ] - A Highly LinearLNA with Noise Cancellation for 5.8–10.6 GHz UWB Receivers

This paper presents a new ultra-wideband LNA which employs the complementary derivative superposition method in noise cancellation structure. A pMOS transistor in weak inversion region is employed for simultaneous second- and third-order distortion cancellation. Source-degeneration technique and two shunt inductors are added to improve the performance at high frequencies. The degeneration induc...
