Abstract: A wideband low-noise amplifier (LNA) with ESD protection for a multi-mode receiver is presented. The LNA is fabricated in a 0.18-μm SiGe BiCMOS process, covering the 2.1 to 6 GHz frequency band. After optimized noise modeling and circuit design, the measured results show that the LNA has a 12 dB gain over the entire bandwidth, the input third intercept point (IIP3) is –8 dBm at 6 GHz, and the noise figure is from 2.3 to 3.8 dB in the operating band. The overall power consumption is 8 mW at 2.5 V voltage supply.
