摘要
According to the theories of optimal noise match and optimal power match, a method for calculating the optimal source impedance of low noise amplifier (LNA) is proposed based on the input reflection coefficient S11. Moreover.with the help of Smith chart, the calculation process is detailed, and the trade-off between the lowest noise figure and the maximum power gain is obtained during the design of LNA input impedance matching network. Based on the Chart 0. 35-μm CMOS process, a traditional cascode LNA circuit is designed and manufactured. Simulation and experimental results have a good agreement with the theoretical analysis, thus proving the correctness of theoretical analysis and the feasibility of the method.
