Abstract

V-Band millimeter wave communication is an evolving technology for bandwidth demanding 5G wireless application. A high gain and linear wideband cascoded two stage Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) operating at 52 to 60 GHz is presented in this paper. Proposed CMOS LNA circuit design yields high gain of 30.7dB by forming high Q-Network at the input terminal of the amplifying NMOS device and a source degenerative inductor. Noise Figure (NF) of the first cascoded stage is set as low to reduce the NF of the LNA as 3.92dB. Proper input and output impedance matching have performed to achieve the input return loss of -15.3dB and output return loss of -23.1dB. This circuit has third order input intercept point (IIP3) at -0.99dBm and requires 18.37 mW of power at 1.5V. The circuit was designed in Cadence Virtuoso 90nm technology and simulated using spectre.
