Transformer-based Input Integrated Matching in Cascode Amplifier: Circuit Analysis and Comparison with Inductive Degeneration
Abstract
A circuit analysis of the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) topology with transformer-based input integrated matching is carried out. The analytical expressions for input impedance, transconductance gain and noise figure have been... [ view full abstract ]
