Abstract
A low-noise amplifier (LNA) includes a pair of transistors connected in a cascode configuration to provide amplification to an input signal. The LNA generates an amplified output in differential form across a pair of output terminals. One of the pair of output terminals is the output node of the cascode configuration. The LNA further includes a feedback transistor with its gate terminal connected to the output node of the cascode configuration and its drain terminal connected to the other one of the pair of output terminals. The differential nature of the amplified output reduces the noise figure of the LNA. A frequency-selective network connected across the pair of output terminals sets the frequency selectivity of each of the input section and the output section of the LNA.
