Abstract
A low-voltage, low-power ultra-wideband (UWB) low-noise amplifier (LNA) for IEEE 802.15.3a is presented. A simplified Chebyshev filter is used to achieve the input broadband matching.
The LNA is simulated based on TSMC 0.18μm mixed signal/RF process. With only 1V bias voltage, the LNA can achieve power flat gain of 10dB with input matching of -9.76dB; the minimum noise figure 3.7dB; and input third-order-intercept point (IIP3) of -1dB. The power dissipation is only 7.2mW
Introduction Ultra-wideband (UWB) communication techniques
have attracted great interests in both academia and industry in the past few years for applications in short-range and high-speed wireless mobile systems. UWB systems operate across a wide range of frequency between 3.1-10.6 GHz.

Conclusion
UWB LNA has been designed in a standard TSMC 0.18-μm CMOS 1P6M technology. The design uses a three-section simplified Chebyshev filter for the input network, which can greatly reduce the circuit complexity and achieve the input.
The cascode architecture and the output-matching buffer allow us to achieve simultaneously high gain, low noise, and high linearity.
