Abstract
A CMOS low-noise amplifier that utilizes multiple monolithic transformer magnetic feedback to simultaneously neutralize the gate-drain overlap capacitance of the amplifying transistor and achieve high gain at high frequencies when driving an on-chip capacitance is presented. The multiple transformer topology permits negative and positive feedback to be applied constructively, allowing for a stable design with adequate gain and large reverse isolation without noise figure (NF) degradation. Simulation results indicate voltage conversion gain of 17 dB, NF of 1.6 dB, and best-case third-order input intercept point of 13 dBm. The design is being implemented in a 0.13-mum CMOS technology
