A cascode CMOS low noise amplifier (LNA) is presented along with the used design methodology and measurement results. The LNA works at 2.4 GHz with 14.5 dB voltage gain and 2.8 dB simulated noise figure (NF). Powered from a 1.8 V supply, the core measured current consumption is 2.76 mA. An output buffer was designed to match a 50 Ω load and its current consumption is 5.5 mA. The technology used...

By Aalay Kapadia in Electrical Engineering and Electronic Engineering. The circuit topology we used for this project is a cascode LNA with inductive source. Typical parameters are maximum transducer gain, output power , low noise, circuit stability. Here a LNA is designed to obtain an optimum gain with minimum.

Despite great progress of lab-on-a-chip (LoC) technology platforms in the last 30 years, there is a lack standardized microfluidic components, real on-chip automation and progressive functional scalability fluidic circuits. Hydrogel-based circuits have high scaling potential provide automation, but are complex system design. An advanced circuit concept for planar chip architectures, originating...

In this work, the factors affecting breakdown voltage of Si-GaN monolithic heterogeneous integrated Casccode FET fabricated by transfer printing were investigated. These two are avalanche resistance Si device and thickness SiN electrical isolation layer. Two kinds structures, MOSFET laterally-diffused (LDMOSFET), designed to study effect devices on characteristics Cascode FET. The layer was ana...

Tower mounted amplifiers (TMA) serve to lower the system noise figure (NF) in cellular base-stations. For performance reasons, the TMA is located as near to the receiving aerial as practical and has to be connected to the rest of the radio at the tower’s base by a long run of coaxial cable. The parameters critical to TMA performance are low NF for reasons of optimizing coverage area, high gain ...
