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.

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

Dual band low noise amplifier: A review analysis

2024-02-08 , Azizan A. , Sohiful Anuar Zainol Murad , Faizah Abu Bakar , Manaf A.A.

This paper discusses a few earlier efforts in the field of multiband low noise amplifier design (LNA). This study will look at a variety of modern multiband LNA designs, focusing on four topologies: induction matching with notch filter, current reused with cascode, current reused with notch filter, and common source with external capacitor. Each architecture has its own set of benefits and drawbacks. In the future, it will be necessary to strike a balance between tradeoffs, eliminate drawbacks, and achieve optimal multiband LNA performance.

A 3.5 GHz CMOS power amplifier (PA) using 0.18 μm Silterra process technology for 5G applications is reported. The proposed circuit consists of two stages. In the first stage, a cascade topology is adopted with a reverse body bias technique to obtain high voltage gain and minimize the current to reduce the power consumption. Meanwhile, a class-E is use in the second stage to obtain high efficiency. The simulation results of propose PA indicate that 22.6 dB of peak power gain (S21), 8.2 dBm of saturated power (Psat) and 54.6% of power added efficiency (PAE) is achieve at 3.5 GHz. These results prove that the proposed PA is suitable for low band 5G applications.

A compact parallel coupled line microstrip bandpass filter (BPF) for sub-6 GHz fifth generation (5G) applications is designed operating between edge frequencies of 3.40 and 3.80 GHz. The design is designed and simulated by means of the Advanced Design System (ADS) software using the flame retardant-4 (FR-4) board as the substrate. The BPF design applies the insertion loss method (ILM) to generate a parallel coupled line filter structure that performs passband permission and unwanted noise attenuation below 3.40 GHz and above 3.80 GHz, respectively. Consistent and relevant performances in terms of matching impedance, return loss (S11), insertion loss (S21), voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), far field radiation pattern, gain, directivity, and radiated efficiency promise the microstrip BPF design has a potential for sub-6 GHz 5G applications.
