Abstract
A 17/24GHz dual-band CMOS low-noise amplifier (LNA) for ISM-band application is presented. The proposed LNA employs a positive feedback transmission-line-based LC-ladder network to obtain dual-band operation and reduce power consumption. For low cost, the LNA has been fabricated using a 0.18m mixed-signal CMOS process. The implemented LNA shows gains of 9.2 and 12dB, and noise figures (NF) of 5.7 and 6.4dB at 18 and 24.5GHz, respectively. The proposed LNA exhibits 8mW power consumption from a 0.8V supply and the active chip area, including pad, is about 720 × 460m2.
