  8. Design of a Low Noise Amplifier • Source Resistance (RS) is 50 Ω • Assume a bias current of 1 mA • Assumed: gm/ID=20 mS/mA

  9. Determine M1 Initial assumptions: VDS1=0.3 V VSB=0 V (DC) gm/ID=20 mS/mA ID=1 mA

  10. gm/ID Calculation

  11. Device Simulation

  12. Add L1& Lg

  13. Impedance Measurement Our initial L1 and Lg does not produce a perfect match!

  14. Increase Ls to Increase Real Impedance (Increase Ls (or L1) to compensate For CGD)

  15. (Ls=270 pH) (Ls=398 pH) (The resonant frequency is still off!)

  16. Adjust Lg (fix at 3.5 GHz ) (Reduce Lg to increase the resonant freq)

  17. Generate the Gate Voltage Insulate the DC The resistor RB and CB isolate the signal path from the noise of IB and MB. Generate VGS of M1 (449.8 mV)

  18. Find the width of MB

  19. Determine RB RB must be much larger than RP, the parallel equivalent resistance Of RS. Otherwise, RB will load the input match network!

  20. Input Bias Network!

  21. Lg=14.85 nH, Ls=398 pH After adding the bias MB Before adding the bias MB

  22. Determine M2 (Choose M2 to be Identical to M1, for simplicity) Also connect the gate of M2 to VDD.

  23. Determine the Output Impedance Use large L to provide DC bias and open at 3.5 GHz. Use an artificially large C to provide DC isolation and a short at 3.5 GHz. Use the port to calculate the S22 and output impedance.

  24. Output Admittance Goal: to cancel the imaginary admittance with an inductor! An effective output capacitance of 135 fF An effective output resistance of 1/1.107mS=900 Ohms Since we know fo, and Ceff, we can calculate Leff: 15.3 nH

  25. Adding Output Capacitance • A 15.3 nH inductor is too large to implement on silicon. • We will add a 1 pF capacitor in parallel to reduce the required inductance to 1.82 nH

  26. Schematic (A port is used to calculate the output impedance) 903~1/1.107 mS

  27. Comparison of Smith Chart Location of S11 @ 3.5 GHz! After adding the bias MB After the output load The input resonant frequency also shifted.

  28. Input Resonant Frequency Shifted to 3.15 GHz We probably have to reduce Lg.

  29. Real and Imaginary Part of Output Impedance

  30. Adjust Lg to Move the Resonant Frequency to 3. 5GHz

  31. S11 Using Lg of 10 nH

  32. Input S11 Reflection coefficient larger than 1! May have to adjust reduce the quality factor of the output tank!

  33. Adjust Output Resistance

  34. RL of 900 Ω

  35. Transient Simulation

  36. Trasient Simulation Vout=1.225-1.1745=50.5 mV Vin=441.637-439.96=1.67 mV Av=30.23, 29.60 dB

  37. Misc.

  38. Determine Parameters Using Matlab

  39. DC Bias Simulation Purpose: Verify gm/ID DC parameters through simulation.

  40. Design of a Low Noise Amplifier • Source Resistance (RS) is 50 Ω • Assume a bias current of 1 mA • Assumed: gm/ID=20 mS/mA
