Abstract

This paper has been studied about UWB(Ulra wide-band)'s LNA(Low Noise Amplifier) and Mixer. The UWB is a new technology that is being pursed for both commercial and military purposes. Direct conversion architectures that convert RF signals have potential to achieve such terminals, because they eliminate the need for non-programmable image-rejection filters and IF channel filters. And this architecture promises better performance in power, size, and cost than existing heterodyne - based receivers. This Receiver architectures combines low-noise amplifier, mixer. And then this paper has designed suitable UWB's LNA and Mixer.
