An Extensive Review On: Cascaded Transformer Boosting Low Noise Amplifier for Millimeter-Waves

Abstract

AbstractLow Noise Amplifier with low Noise Figure and high-Power Gain are among the most complex and important components in Radio Frequency wave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits design. Common Source and Common Gate techniques are mostly used in Low Noise Amplifier in many GHz frequency range, especially mmWave applications. The first has good impedance matching and linearity, but low noise figure compared to the other. Hence, we have intended to review the design and analysis of the novel topology for Cascaded Transformer Boosting Low Noise Amplifier to reduce noise and increase gain in millimeter-wave applications. Increasing the gain and reduction of noise in Low Noise Amplifier will be achieved by a new design with control topology. The cascaded transformer boosting (CTB) method will be introduced in Low Noise Amplifier design which increases the gain and reduces the noise figure. The different proposed Low Noise Amplifier based cascaded transformer boosting designs may be used to increas the bandwidth in the amplifier's multistage functions. The normal Low Noise Amplifier designs may be affected by gain reduction with increases of noise in the mmWave applications due to parasitic capacitance. The cascaded transformer boosting (CTB) method reduces the noise by adding inductance with Low Noise Amplifier which improves the power gain of circuit design. The best design will be analyzed for finding the minimum overall noise figure and best results. The main aim is to evaluate the best design for a cascaded transformer boosting (CTB) Low Noise Amplifier that produces both low noise figure and high-power gain in every stage while keeping the overall noise figure of the three stages Low Noise Amplifier to a minimal.KeywordsLNATransformer boostingGainNoise figureOptimizationControl techniquesDesign analysis
