Abstract
A CMOS low noise amplifier (LNA) is provided that is formed without inductors. The CMOS LNA can be used for a single-chip CMOS RF receiver. The CMOS LNA can include a plurality of amplification stages coupled between an input terminal and an output terminal and a gain controller coupled to each of the plurality of amplifier stages, wherein the CMOS LNA does not include an inductor. Each of the amplification stages can have a symmetrically configured and sized first and second circuits to increase a dynamic range and a feedback loop.
