2006 A novel CMOS low-noise amplifier design for 3IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS―I: REGULAR PAPERS, VOL. 53, NO. 8, AUGUST 2006 1683 A Novel CMOS Low-Noise Amplier Design for 3.1to 10.6-GHz Ultra-Wide-Band Wireless Receivers Yang Lu, Kiat Seng Yeo, Alper Cabuk, Jianguo Ma, Senior Member, IEEE, Manh Anh Do, Senior Member, IEEE, and Zhenghao Lu Abstract―An ultra-wideband (UWB) 3.1- to 10.6-GHz low-noise amplier (LNA) employing a common-gate stage for wideband input matching is presented in this paper. Designed in a commercial 0.18- m 1.8-V standard RFCMOS technology, the proposed UWB LNA achieves fully on-chip circuit implementation, contributing to the realization of a single-chip CMOS UWB receiver. The proposed UWB LNA achieves 16 7 0 8 dB power gain with a good input match (S11 9 dB) over the 7500-MHz bandwidth (from 3.1 GHz……
