Abstract

A review on different available low noise amplifier (LNA) topologies for ultrawide band and other higher frequency band (K-band, E-band, W-band) applications is presented in this paper. The design metric of LNA is gain, noise figure (NF), linearity, bandwidth, chip area, and power dissipation with broadband wide band input impedance matching. To optimize the LNA performance tradeoff exists with different topologies. This paper gives insight to optimize the LNA design metric for different topologies and a bird eye view for very high frequency ranges. In this paper, Noise Figure (NF), band width, power dissipation, supply voltage, \(S_{21}\) and other design metric is used to compare all LNA parameters.
