Abstract

Analysis and design of a low-noise transconductance amplifier (LNTA) aimed at selective current-mode (SAW-less) wideband receiver front-end is presented. The proposed LNTA uses double cross-coupling technique to reduce noise figure (NF), complementary derivative superposition, and resistive feedback to achieve high linearity and enhance input matching. The analysis of both NF and IIP3 using Volterra series is described in detail and verified by SpectreRF® circuit simulation showing NF +17 dBm and blocker P1dB >+5 dBm over frequency range of 0.5---3 GHz.
