In this paper, a 1.8㎓ low noise amplifier was designed and simulated using 0.2$\mu\textrm{m}$ Si CMOS process. Noise characteristics and s parameters were extracted for the 300$\mu\textrm{m}$ gate width and 0.25$\mu\textrm{m}$ gate length NMOS transistors. For high available power gain, each stage was designed cascode type. It revealed available power gain of 23.5dB, noise figure of 2.0dB, power consumption of 15㎽ at 2.5V. It was shown that designed low noise amplifier had good RF performance. Designed Si CMOS LNA is expected to be used for RF front-end in transceiver.
