Abstract

The invention discloses a variable-gain low-noise amplifier with broadband flat gain. The amplifier comprises a first capacitor, a second capacitor, a third capacitor, a fourth capacitor, a fifth capacitor, a first inductor, a second inductor, a third inductor, a fourth inductor, a fifth inductor, a first bias resistor, a second bias resistor, a first NMOS transistor, a second NMOS transistor, a first group of switching transistors, a second group of switching transistors, n resistors, n control voltages, a DC bias and a power supply, wherein each of the first group of switching transistors and the second group of switching transistors comprises n switching transistors. According to the invention, better compromise between noise matching and broadband input matching is realized by adoptinga transformer through gate drain of the input transistor, and broadband flat gain response is realized by adopting a double-gate inductance peaking technology; and the digital switch controls the voltage flatness gain.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of millimeter-wave front-end circuits of electronic communication technology, in particular to a wide-band flat gain variable-gain low-noise amplifier. Background technique [0002] In recent years, many industry and academic research institutions have turned their research focus to the fifth generation (5G) communication. The millimeter wave front-end circuit is an important part of the 5G communication system. One of the keys is the low noise amplifier. In 5G phased array receiver, variable gain low noise amplifier will be a more attractive choice, when the weak RF signal enters the receiver, the low noise amplifier needs to have the highest gain and minimum noise figure; in another On the other hand, if the incoming RF signal is strong, the LNA provides moderate gain and high linearity to prevent receiver saturation. [0003] Among the realized variable gain low-noise amplifier schemes, (Kim S, Kim H C, Kim D H, ...
