A low-noise CMOS amplifier operating at a 1-V supply voltage is developed using the two noise reduction techniques of autozeroing and chopper stabilization. The proposed amplifier utilizes a feedback with virtual grounded input-switches and a multiple-output switched op-amp. The low-noise amplifier fabricated by a 0.18-μm CMOS technology was measured at a 1-V power supply, and achieved low nois...

In this paper, a new image-reject low noise amplifier is designed for the 2.4 GHz industrial-scientific-medical (ISM) band. An inter-stage T-structure filter is used in the low noise amplifier design to provide 35-dB image rejection. The goal of this design is to merge the image-reject function into the low noise amplifier.

The CDMA standard operating over the wireless environment along with various other wireless standards places stringent specifications on the RF Front end. Due to possible large interference signal tones at the receiver end along with the carrier, the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is expected to provide high linearity, thus preventing the inter-modulation tones created by the interference signal fro...

A low noise amplifier has been designed using a 2SK117 N channel J-FET as the input device in a cascode [1] configuration. Noise measurements on this amplifier yield a low frequency noise current of 0.25 fA/Yfu and a voltage noise of less than 1.2 n V NHz in the 500 Hz to 50 kHz region. Bloyet et al. [2] suggest a figure of merit of the product of the noise voltage and current as being appropri...

Abstract The impacts of negative and positive bias temperature instabilities (NBTI and PBTI) on the stability of ultra-thin-body (UTB) GeOI 6T SRAM cell and performance of sense amplifier compared with the SOI counterparts are analyzed and discussed in this report. Worst case stress scenarios for read and write operations are analyzed. For UTB GeOI SRAMs, PBTI dominates the degradations in read...
