Noise figures below 2dB are generally hard to achieve by integrated LNAs with few external components, whether the technology is GaAs or bipolar. This paper reports the design of CMOS LNAs with NF as low as 1.74, while providing 50 Omega impedance at both input and output, good linearity for both small (IP3) and large signals (CP) and insensitivity to component tolerances. The best LNA consumes only 10.8mA and requires only one external inductor.
