Abstract

This paper presents a low power CMOS low noise amplifier for UWB applications. To reduce the power consumption, two cascode amplifiers was stacked in DC. Designed with $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology, the proposed LNA achieves 20dB flat gain, below 3dB noise figure, and the power consumption of 5.2mW from a 1.8 V supply voltage.
