    Abstract

    A wideband balun-LNA featuring common gate – common source noise cancelling, current reuse, and gm-boosting is presented. It covers frequency range from 0.8 GHz to 7.3 GHz that fulfills the requirements of sub-6 GHz 5G new radio technology. The LNA provides balanced output and employs forward body biasing for linearity improvement. The mode of operation can be adjusted between high-performance (HP) and high-tolerance (HT) modes by changing the ratio of the currents flowing through CG and CS branches. Post-layout simulations in 22 nm FDSOI technology yields a minimum noise figure of 2 dB and a maximum IIP3 of -2.1 dBm.
