A 20-GHz low noise amplifier (LNA) is designed in
0.13 CMOS technology. The proposed amplifier employs two
cascade stages to achieve a peak power-gain of 25 dB and a noise
figure of 4.8 dB at 20.4 GHz. The power consumption of the LNA
circuit is 12.2 mW from a 1.5V supply. This paper also presents a
novel model for sub-nH planar spiral inductors, which accounts
for high-frequency effects and incorporates interconnection lines
in the 1.5-turn spiral inductor. The new model demonstrates a
good agreement with S-parameter from electromagnetic field
simulator within 40GHz.
