Abstract
  • An analysis that accounts for the effect of standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) structures on critical LNA specifications of noise figure, input matching and gain is presented. It is shown that the ESD structures degrade LNA performance particularly for higher frequency applications. Two LNAs, one with ESD protection and one without, which operate at 2.4 GHz have been fabricated in a 0.l5μm CMOS process. The LNAs feature one of the best reported performances for CMOS LNAs to date. The LNA with ESD protection achieves a gain of 12dB, a NF of 2.77dB and an IIP3 of 2.4dBm with a power consumption of 4.65mW. The LNA without ESD protection achieves a gain of 14dB, a NF of 2.36dB and an 11P3 of -2.2dBm with a power consumption of 4.65mW.
