A 3 to 5GHz CMOS UWB LNA with input matching using miller effect

A UWB CMOS LNA uses the Miller effect with one additional inductor to achieve a broadband input match. The LNA has a power gain>15dB, S11<-10.5dB, S22< -13.1dB and NF<2.3dB over the 3 to 5GHz range. It is fabricated in 0.18mum CMOS and draws 6.4mA from a 1.8V supply
