Abstract

In this paper, the analysis of input power matching for CMOS RF Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) design is introduced. With two input power matching techniques, the performance of LNAs is estimated according to gain and noise figure. This process can be expressed easily by theoretical method and using simulation. These analytical methods are useful in that they can provide enough insights for designing CMOS RF LNAs.
