Popis: This paper presents a cascaded ultra low power LNA structure. The proposed architecture benefits from a common gate LNA as the first stage followed by indcutorless common source LNA. The complete design was implemented in a standard 130nm RF CMOS process. The design occupies 130µm × 130µm active area. The circuit operates at 2.4GHz and draws 240µm under supply voltage of 1.2V. It shows active voltage gain of 42 dB and NF of 11.2 dB after post layout simulation. Thanks to first stage common gate structure, it has input reflection coefficient better than 22 dB.
