Abstract

In this paper the Differential Low Noise Amplifier (DLNA) operating with a center frequency of 1.748GHz is designed using 0.35?m CMOS technology. The Differential Low Noise Amplifier provides a Gain of 25.5dB with a noise figure of 1.3 . The DLNA is designe d using inductive source degeneration architecture.
