An Ultra-Compact Inductorless Noise-Canceling LNA with Gain-Boosting and Current Reuse in 16nm FinFET

This paper presents an ultra-compact, wideband low-power low-noise amplifier (LNA) with noise cancellation and current reuse in 16nm FinFET technology. The design employs a common-gate/common-source noise-canceling topology with gain-boosting and DC current reuse to realize high, broadband gain at low power. The LNA operates from 200MHz to 6.8GHz, achieving a peak gain of 24dB, a 3-dB bandwidth of 6.8GHz, a minimum noise figure of 2.25dB, an IIP3 of -9.8dBm, while consuming only 3.1mW of DC power.
