Abstract

A LNA is the first active stage of a radio frequency receiver module, with the prevalent goal of minimizing the noise figure of the whole system. This work presents the design of two narrow-band LNA and a wide-band LNA for phased array radar applications. Silicon-germanium (SiGe) technology is discussed, evaluating its physical characteristics and its potential. The analysis of the low noise ampliers is examined, and the full-custom layout of each discussed circuit is also presented
