Summary:
Ultra-Wide band (UWB) systems are a new wireless technology capable of transmitting data over a wide spectrum of frequency bands with very low power and high data rates. This technology has the potential to replace almost every cable at home or in an office with a wireless connection. In a UWB receiver, a radio frequency (RF) low noise amplifier (LNA) is one of the most important components. This thesis discusses the entire process involving the design ofUWB low noise amplifiers including a detailed stage by stage analysis of a computer aided design (CAD) of a MOSFET UWB LNA. Simulation tools and concepts from Level I equations are used in order to design a circuit with a realistic MOS model such as the BSIM3 used in this work. The LNA shows improved power consumption over the designs it is based on while still producing comparable results.
