Abstract

Provided is a low noise amplifier with a common source and a source degeneration, which has linearity, power gain, noise factor, and lossless input matching. The low noise amplifier includes: a first inductor having one terminal connected to an input terminal receiving a signal; a second inductor having one terminal connected to a ground; a MOS transistor having a gate connected to the first inductor, a source connected to the other terminal of the second inductor, and a drain transmitting a signal; and a variable capacitor connected between the source and gate of the MOS transistor and varying an input matching frequency at the input terminal.
