Sub-mA single ended CMOS low noise amplifier with 2.41 dB noise figure

This paper presents a single ended low noise amplifier (LNA) using 0.18 μm CMOS process packed and tested on a printed circuit board. The LNA is powered at 1.0 V supply and drains 0.95 mA only. The LNA provides a forward gain of 11.91 dB with a noise figure of only 2.41 dB operating in the 0.9 GHz band. The measured value of IIP3 is 0.7 dBm and of P1dB is −12 dBm.
