Abstract
A technique for improving gain and noise performance of differential wideband commongate low noise amplifiers is presented It is based on current bleeding and noise cancellation An amplifier employing the technique has been designed and simulated in a 90 nm standard CMOS process using a 1 V supply It has been compared to designs using both basic and crosscoupled commongate topologies Simulation results confirm the improvements in gain and noise figure yielding a superior figure of merit for the new technique
