    This paper presents a high linearity multi-band CMOS low noise amplifier (LNA) at 2.4/3.5 GHz for wireless application. The proposed multi-band CMOS LNA is targeted for concurrent 2.4 GHz and 3.5 GHz bands for 4G and 5G wireless technology, respectively. A cascoded topology with bandpass and bandstop filter at the input is utilized to achieve multiple-band frequency at 2.4 GHz and 3.5 GHz. The LNA is implemented and simulated using CMOS 0.13 μm process in Cadence Virtuoso Analog Design Environment software. The simulation results indicate that the gain (S21) of 15 dB/11 dB with the third order intercept point (IIP3) of 2.04 dBm/3.80 dBm at 2.4 GHz/3.5 GHz frequencies are achieved. Meanwhile, the noise figure of 3.0 dB/3.6 dB is obtained with the power consumption of 35.1 mW at 1.0 V supply voltage. The total chip area is 2.61 mm2

    Design of low power Wallace tree multiplier using modified full adder
    High speed and energy-efficient of a device are essential in the electronics industry due to the high demand for multimedia usage and fast technology. Multipliers play a vital role, especially in the processor's integrated circuits, microprocessors, filters, and arithmetic units. Wallace tree multiplier works in parallel, making it an efficient multiplier in terms of area and speed. Internally, a multiplier consists of Adder, which is full Adder (FA) and half Adder (HA). Full adders give a significant contribution to making a multiplier that works very well. A processor or chip performs very efficiently and effectively when running at high speed, in a small area, and at low power. Modification of full Adder in Wallace tree multiplier helps to consume low power during multiplication. In this project, 4-bit and 8-bit Wallace tree multipliers are designed. The design is developed in Verilog HDL and simulated the functionalities using Quartus II software. Mentor Graphic software was used to produce the final layout of 8 x 8-bit Wallace tree multiplier. The modified Wallace tree multiplier shows 64.97mW power lower than the conventional multiplier, which was 65.88mW.

    Modified CMFB circuit with enhanced accuracy for data converter application
    Enhanced feedback voltage of common mode feedback (CMFB) circuit is designed in this work for CMOS data sampling application using 0.18-μm Silterra process technology. The double error detecting point circuit is employed to associate with the feedback point in order to prevent the undesired voltage common mode at the output of operational transconductance amplifier (OTA). The PMOS input transistor for injecting the common mode voltage is used to fit in the limitation of voltage division in low power design. The feedback voltage is strongly pushed to have a stable value as to make the outputs of differential amplifier circuit swing at a nearly constant voltage at 1.2 V for enhancing accuracy of data converter.

    A 46% PAE, 2.4-GHz Two-Stage Class E Power Amplifier Utilizing CMOS 0.13-µm Technology
    A wireless device with a long battery life and great sensitivity becomes difficult to develop since there is a huge demand for low-power, low-cost wireless gadgets. The power amplifier (PA) is the most crucial part of radio frequency (RF) transceivers because of its massive power consumption. Consequently, in order to minimize power loss, a very effective and low-power consumption PA is needed. In this paper, high efficiency two-stage CMOS PA designed in 0.13-μm process for 2.4 GHz IoT transmitter applications is presented. The driver stage and power stage are the two stages that make up the two-stage topology of the proposed CMOS PA. To attain high efficiency and great power gain, a class E PA is used at the power stage. The LC matching network at the output is used for harmonic rejection filter at 2.4 GHz with an additional parallel capacitor helps for better harmonic rejection. In addition, a layout has been successfully designed and optimized. All the components in the proposed PA are designed on-chip. The pre-layout and post-layout simulations have been conducted to verify the proposed PA's performance. The pre-layout simulation of the proposed PA can deliver 19.19 dBm output power and 45.2% PAE at 2.0 V power supply into a 50-Ω load. On the other hand, the proposed PA produced an output power of 17.33 dBm and 46% PAE, according to the results of the post-layout simulation with a similar power supply of 2.0 V. The chip area for the proposed layout design is 1.05 mm2.

    Design of High-Quality Factor Active Indictor Using CMOS 0.18-μm Technology for 5G Applications
    This paper presents high quality factor of active inductor circuit for 5G application. The proposed circuit is based on the differential active inductor (DAI) topology. The DAI is designed using CMOS 0.18 μm technology. The quality factor (Q) can be tuned with the current source values, ranging from 0.5 mA to 3 mA, while the voltage can control the inductance values L. Meanwhile, the frequency range can be controlled with the feedback resistance. The simulation results indicate that the Q factor as large as 262.5k can be achieved with inductor values of 10 nH at frequency 3.2 GHz. In addition, the Q factor of 1650 is obtained at 3.5 GHz. The performance comparison with previously published works is also demonstrated and found that the proposed DAI is suitable for 5G application.
