Abstract

A low-noise amplifier (LNA) design with the operation of concurrent dual-band for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers with single channel is presented in this work. This LNA structure has an inductively degenerated cascode architecture and is pseudo-differential, operating at two frequencies simultaneously (1.2 GHz and 1.57 GHz). Two noise reduction/cancellation techniques, using load capacitor and feedforward path, respectively, are proposed resulting in an excellent improvement in the noise figure (NF). The input matching circuit uses both series and parallel resonant components to enable concurrency. The adopted pseudo-differential structure results in input balun elimination. Inductively degenerated cascode topology provides both input impedance and optimum noise impedance matching. The soundness of the proposed approach has been demonstrated in a 0.18-µm CMOS technology by TSMC. Simulation results show that at 1.2 GHz and 1.57 GHz the LNA achieves −13 dB and −11 dB of input matching, 24.6 dB and 24.7 dB of gain, 1.47 dB and 1.43 dB of NF, respectively. The input-referred 1-dB compression point (IP1dB) is around −16 dBm, while the input-referred third-order intercept point (IIP3) achieves −2.2 dBm at 1.2 GHz and −0.6 dBm at 1.57 GHz. The LNA draws about 13 mA from a 1.8-V supply voltage.
