✦ Synopsis


A 5.2-GHz monolithic low-power low-noise amplifier (LNA) with a quasi-cascode configuration using InGaP-GaAs HBT technology is reported for the first time. A state-of-the-art noise figure of 2.39 dB at 5.2 GHz is obtained among all bipolar LNAs with a fully on-chip input-matching network. The input return loss is Ϫ32 dB with a voltage gain of 27 dB at 5.2 GHz. An input 1-dB compression point (P 1dB ) and an input 3 rd -order intercept point (IIP3) of Ϫ14 and Ϫ5 dBm are also achieved, respectively. This circuit consumes only small dc power of 6 mW.
