Abstract
Abstract high-gain and low-noise low noise amplifier (LNA) includes a differential amplifier, a pre-amplifier and an impedance matching network. The differential amplifier includes a first input end and a second input end coupled to a grounded impedance. The pre-amplifier includes an input end and an output end. The impedance matching network is coupled between the first input end of the differential amplifier and the output end of the pre-amplifier for matching an input impedance of the differential amplifier with an output impedance of the pre-amplifier. The present invention provides a LNA structure with low noise, high gain and easy design.
